Suburb profile

Cannawigara is a welcoming smaller community in Tatiara, with a settled community character. Distance from the capital is part of the appeal, with wide open surrounds and a self-contained community rhythm. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with family life visible on every street.

The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.

A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
