Suburb profile
Custon 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. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
