Suburb profile

Gateway Island is a welcoming smaller community in Wodonga, with a settled community character. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. Tree-lined streets and leafy pockets give the suburb a noticeably green, settled character.

A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric, with a strong working population. Green space is a real strength, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.

This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
