Suburb profile
Waukivory is a residential smaller community in Mid-Coast with a familiar suburban feel. A strong local centre anchors daily routines, while the surrounding region adds variety for weekends away.

Reasonable public transport access helps with commuting and getting around locally. Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
