About Clarendon Vale
Clarendon Vale is a small suburb in the City of Clarence, located approximately 15 kilometres south-east of the Hobart CBD. With a population of around 1,267 and a notably young median age of 29, it is one of the more youthful communities in the greater Hobart area. Originally developed as a public housing estate in the late 1970s, the suburb has gradually diversified with an increasing number of owner-occupied homes alongside social housing.
Clarendon Vale offers affordable housing compared to most Hobart suburbs, making it attractive to first-home buyers and young families. The suburb has a community centre, local playground, and is close to the larger shopping facilities in nearby Rokeby and Howrah. While amenities within the suburb itself are limited, it benefits from proximity to the scenic South Arm peninsula and Clarence foreshore trails. The community continues to develop as investment improves local infrastructure.
Clarendon Vale falls under postcode 7019 and is governed by Clarence Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Franklin (Rumney) electorate.
