Suburb profile
Somerset is a residential smaller community in Torres with a familiar suburban feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. The area suits established families and long-term locals, with a strong working population.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
The streetscape feels settled and established, with older homes giving the area a familiar, lived-in look.
