Professionals Wagga Wagga 
Named after Prince Albert, the suburb of Lake Albert is most well-known for the 125 ha artificial lake at its centre. Offering a quiet relaxed atmosphere, most homes in Lake Albert enjoy close proximity to the abundance of walking and cycling tracks, parks, playgrounds and recreational activities the lake has to offer.
Nestled on the southern banks of Lake Albert is the unofficial suburb of Lakehaven. Bordered by the Wagga Wagga Country Golf Club, Wagga Wagga Boat Club and Apex Park, Lakehaven is most well-known for its prestigious homes and the luxury it offers.
On the western edge of the lake lies Lakeside, another unofficial suburb of Wagga Wagga. One of Wagga Wagga’s genuine blue-ribbon locations, Lakeside is an established area consisting mostly of four and five bedroom homes. Backing onto the Wagga Wagga Country Golf Club it offers a great family atmosphere.
Conveniently serviced by Lake Albert shopping village, Lake Albert, Lakehaven and Lakeside all offer a relaxed lifestyle choice, with many homes nestled on small acreage, or set along the water’s edge.
