Suburb profile
Petina is a residential smaller community in Streaky Bay with a familiar suburban feel. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Generous greenery runs through the area, from street trees to tucked-away reserves.
Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Green space is a real strength, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
