The better pockets of Trentham are the larger blocks further out of the main township. There, you may enjoy the tranquility of the countryside and still make use of the amenity that Trentham township has to offer. Buying opportunities are becoming fewer as all the prime pieces of land parcels that remain gradually get snapped up .. and good luck finding acreage further out because it's in short supply. There are still some good bargains to be had closer to town, but that's if you're ok with the quarter-acre-block-mentality and your fence abutting the next door neighbors' toilet piping, etc. The town itself has a few key areas of appeal. Namely, the 'country feel' as you coast along the main streets. But other aspects of it that are nice include the regular farmers' market, the Cosmo, the foodie options keep getting better, the supermarket has improved recently, the air is certainly as fresh as you can get, the parks are great, Trentham falls is close, lots of walking tracks, lots of wildlife and bird life in general, the people are friendly and there is a good community vibe to the place. Some amenities could be improved upon but it is certainly an up-and-coming country locale, in my opinion. (Side note: I am not a local, but wish I was!!! ... perhaps one day... if one of those larger blocks out of the main strip become available ...)
