Suburb profile
Mount Jagged is a hillside smaller community in Victor Harbor, with elevated streets and a greener, quieter pace. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. Fresh country air and elevated outlooks are part of the appeal up here among the hills.
Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with family life visible on every street. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
Renewal is happening in measured doses, with new development complementing what is already there.
