The 2016 Census recorded 3,135 residents, reflecting its status as a primarily residential suburb anchored by Summerdale Primary School and close to St Patrick’s College (1 km) and Prospect High School (1.4 km). The South Esk River outlines the north‑western edge, offering a natural backdrop to the mix of family homes and newer dwellings that characterize the area.

Road access is straightforward, with National Route 1 (Midland Highway) running just east of the suburb and feeder roads linking directly into Summerhill.
