Suburb profile

Coolillie is a residential smaller community in Elliston 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. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with family life visible on every street.

Community life feels grounded and local, with residents who tend to know their neighbourhood well. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
