Suburb profile
Straten is a residential smaller community in Buloke with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. A younger crowd gives the area energy, with a strong working population.
The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment.
