About Glenreagh

Glenreagh is a small rural village in the Clarence Valley, located approximately 25 kilometres southwest of Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast. With a population of around 1,000, it sits along the Orara River in a picturesque valley surrounded by farmland and forested hills. The village has an older demographic profile with a median age of 60+, and a very high owner-occupancy rate of 83%.

Glenreagh offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle with a strong community spirit centred around the local hall, primary school, and general store. The village is a gateway to the Orara East State Forest and nearby national parks, making it popular with nature lovers and tree-changers. Property prices remain affordable compared to coastal areas, attracting retirees and those seeking a quieter pace of life away from the busier Coffs Harbour area.

Glenreagh falls under postcode 2450 and is governed by Clarence Valley Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Clarence electorate.
