Suburb profile
Woodview is a residential smaller community in Richmond Valley with a familiar suburban feel. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees, with families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.
Strong public transport connections keep the wider area accessible. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
