Suburb profile
Nugent is a residential smaller community in Sorell with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. Leafy streets and shaded corners make the suburb feel greener and more established than many nearby.
Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Green space is a real strength, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb.
Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state.
