Suburb profile
Boho South is a residential smaller community in Strathbogie with a familiar suburban feel. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees, with families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
