Suburb profile
Wittenoom Hills sits up in the Esperance hills, a smaller community where elevation and tree cover define the mood. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Elevated streets and bushland backdrops bring a sense of fresh country air to daily life.
Families and commuters make up 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.
Property is in demand, reflecting the appeal of living in a place people actively choose.
