Suburb profile
Avon is a welcoming smaller community in Wingecarribee Council, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. A younger crowd gives the area energy.
With fewer amenities on hand, neighbouring suburbs do much of the shopping and service heavy lifting. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.
Reported crime has been rising recently.
