Suburb profile
Marcollat is a welcoming smaller community in Kingston (SA), with a settled community character. Distance from the capital is part of the appeal, with wide open surrounds and a self-contained community rhythm. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Light infill development is updating a few streets while the wider area stays largely unchanged.
