Suburb profile
Tootool is a residential smaller community in Lockhart with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with a community of people who commute and work locally.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Reasonable public transport access helps with commuting and getting around locally. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
