What Solus is known for: Green suburb

Suburb profile

Solus is a residential smaller community in Murray Council with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. The community skews younger.

Shops and services are limited locally: a short trip to a nearby centre covers the fuller weekly shop. Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many comparable suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. A car helps for most daily errands, with fewer amenities clustered within an easy walk.

Housing sits in the middle of the local market: neither cheap nor premium. Reported crime has been falling recently.
