Suburb profile
Boho is a residential smaller community in Strathbogie with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees, with multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood.
Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
