Suburb profile
Tooloon is a welcoming smaller community in Coonamble, with a settled community character. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with a strong working population.
The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
