Suburb profile
Manoora is a welcoming smaller community in Clare and Gilbert Valleys, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees, with multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood.
Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer. Community life feels grounded and local, with residents who tend to know their neighbourhood well.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
