Suburb profile

Howick is a welcoming smaller community in Esperance, 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. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with family life visible on every street.

There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch. Property is in demand, reflecting the appeal of living in a place people actively choose.
