Suburb profile
Tyagarah is a residential smaller community in Byron with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with family life visible on every street.
Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Construction and infill projects are noticeably reshaping parts of the area.
