Reviews of Moonah, TAS
"Close to shops, but a bit scary at night"
near food shops and normal stores \ but def a bit scary at night. Theres alot of wondering people smoking and yelling sometimes. Alot like glenorchy and kinda a bit bogan like. definnelty get better but not amazing considering prices. there are better areas for the price i'd say, i use to rent in moonah and the neighbours there absouloutely sucked. always yelling at eachother and throwing parties. my other mate that lives in moonah also has someone in the street doing the same. kinda hit or miss area
"Exciting suburb north of Hobart CBD"
Moonah has its own story and a true blue identity. First of the Northern Suburbs outside of Hobart but still considered part of the Greater Hobart Region.
My wife and I purchased our first home in Moonah four years past, this was the best decision we made regarding property.
Cafes and restaurants abounding with all amenities for every age group. Access to the city is quite good with über and the 10min buses into Hobart (bring on the light rail!).
Plenty of parks and schools surround our home, good if you’ve got kids. We’ve got dogs instead, so we enjoy the parks and close proximity to groomers and pet stores.
I’d consider Moonah to be a safe suburb, like all places, after-hours can get sketchy but that’s indicative of all areas of Australia following too much grog (primarily near the pubs).
We love our Moonah.

"Up and coming"
Traditionally a working class area, but places are becoming more gentrified as Moonah is only 10/15 minutes to the Hobart CBD. The shopping strip still has a way to come but it has everything you would need, so a popular area for buyers looking for their first home.

"Organic Central"
Moonah is located 5 kms north north west of Hobart. It has a wide variety of housing styles, all beautifully maintained. It has a diverse collection of shops, restaurants, offices and services. The largest undercover farmer's market in Tasmania has its home here, where the finest organic produce is on display as well as crafts and restaurants. It has a great choice of schools and there are plenty of parks and gardens to enjoy. It is the perfect place to raise a family.
