Suburb profile

Coghills Creek is a hillside smaller community in Ballarat, with elevated streets and a greener, quieter pace. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Elevated streets and bushland backdrops bring a sense of fresh country air to daily life.

Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.

Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
