Professionals Wagga Wagga suburb profiles 10th August, 2012 No Comments

A well-established residential area of Wagga Wagga, Ashmont is located south-west of the city, bound by the Sturt Highway and bordering suburbs of Glenfield, Turvey Park and Central Wagga Wagga. Traditionally offering older style housing for low to middle income earners, new subdivisions in the north and the unofficial suburb of Flowerdale provide newer housing opportunities with modern, attractive designs.

Ashmont features a number of schools in the immediate and surrounding suburbs, a shopping mall with various stores including an IGA supermarket and Australia Post outlet, and a number of sporting ovals and parks.

Less than 10 minutes from the centre of town, it’s great for families and first-home buyers.
