The locality is about south of the town of Launceston. The 2016 census recorded a population of 3135 for the state suburb of Summerhill.[1] It is a suburb of Launceston.
Summerhill is primarily a residential suburb and is home to Summerdale Primary School.
Summerhill was gazetted as a locality in 1963.[2]
The area was officially gazetted as "Summerdale" in 1957, but this appears to have been a mistake, as it had been known as "Summerhill" for up to a century beforehand. A regazzetting in 1963 officially named it "Summerhill".[3] Despite this, the name of the school has not changed.
The South Esk River forms the north-western boundary.
National Route 1 (Midland Highway) passes to the east. From there, several roads provide access to the locality.[2] [4]
