Suburb Property Profile: Virginia, NT 0834

Located approximately 31km southeast of Darwin's CBD, Virginia sits within the Litchfield Municipality. Settlement of the area began in 1869 after George McLachlan surveyed a small satellite town, with the Virginia name in use since the 1870s. The suburb has long been characterised by acreage properties and a semi-rural lifestyle, popular with families and professionals who want larger blocks within commuting distance of Darwin and Palmerston. Here's our comprehensive guide to the area.

Location Demographics

The population of Virginia sits at 1,811 according to the 2021 Census, across a large 32.6 square-kilometre area. Virginia has a notably high median income, reflecting the prevalence of defence and government workers among local residents.

Travel & Infrastructure

Virginia doesn't have any dedicated public transport infrastructure of its own; residents typically rely on private vehicles for the drive into Palmerston or Darwin.

Shopping

Virginia has no shopping centre of its own. Residents typically travel to nearby Coolalinga or Palmerston for shopping and everyday services.

Schools & Recreation

I couldn't independently confirm a school located within Virginia itself. Families in the area most likely rely on schools in nearby Palmerston or Howard Springs, though I'd recommend checking current Northern Territory Department of Education zoning directly before relying on this.

Local Amenities

Virginia is home to market gardens and small farms, reflecting its role in the Top End's horticulture industry, alongside the Darwin Correctional Precinct. Beyond this, I don't have verified detail on named parks or community facilities within the suburb — genuinely sparse compared to more built-up Darwin suburbs, consistent with its rural-residential character.
