Suburb profile
Set among the hills of Maranoa, Mount Howe is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Ridge-top pockets and tree cover give the area a cooler, greener hillside feel.
The area suits established families and long-term locals, with plenty of residents in steady employment. Homes here are sought-after, with many people drawn to the lifestyle the area offers.
The streetscape feels settled and established, with older homes giving the area a familiar, lived-in look.
