The real estate market, while not as dynamic as metropolitan areas, remains stable, with occasional fluctuations largely influenced by broader economic conditions and shifts in demand driven by lifestyle changes.

It is a place where the community is closely tied to the environment, with outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and swimming in the nearby beaches and waterways forming an integral part of daily life. The region is known for its biodiversity, including rare species like the endangered cassowary birds.
