Suburb profile

Bordertown South is a welcoming smaller community in Tatiara, with a settled community character. Distance from the capital is noticeable, but the trade-off is space, calm and a community that knows its neighbours. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix.

The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.

Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment.
