Suburb profile
In Marion, Glandore is a settled mid-sized suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Sitting close to the city centre, it is easy to dip into neighbouring suburbs for work, dining and events. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Everyday errands and local outings are straightforward, with the wider metro area adding variety. Buses and trains connect the area to surrounding suburbs, keeping the wider city within easy reach. Property is in demand, reflecting the appeal of living in a place people actively choose.
Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.
The desirability score is around average, weighed down by weaker local dining and lifestyle amenities and housing affordability against similar metro suburbs, even with transport and access and growth momentum holding up better.
