Suburb profile

Meadow is a residential smaller community in Shark Bay with a familiar suburban feel. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here.

Homes here are sought-after, with many people drawn to the lifestyle the area offers. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.

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