Suburb profile
Northhead is a welcoming smaller community in Etheridge, 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. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with plenty of residents in steady employment.
Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
