Suburb profile

Set among the hills of Somerset, Coolana is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. Elevated streets and bushland backdrops bring a sense of fresh country air to daily life.

The area suits established families and long-term locals, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls.

The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
