Suburb profile
Wickham is a welcoming smaller community in King Island, with a settled community character. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Tree-lined streets and leafy pockets give the suburb a noticeably green, settled character.
An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
