Suburb profile
Mosquito Hill is a residential smaller community in Alexandrina with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix.
The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area. 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.
