Bracken Ridge

Bracken Ridge QLD has always been one of north Brisbane’s most underrated suburbs. However, that is rapidly changing. Everywhere you look, people are building, renovating, or restoring houses and local facilities to their former glory. Prospective homebuyers are surprised to learn about the hilltop homes with stunning bay views. To top it all off, moving to the “Ridge” places you only 18 km north of the Brisbane CBD on wide, tree-lined streets. The whole suburb feels like one big family, and we locals love being just 10 minutes from the waterfront.

The secret is out! Savvy homebuyers realise how central Bracken Ridge QLD is, and the gentrification of our suburb is well underway. Young professionals and families are relocating here, creating demand for further development and the renovation of retail spaces. The suburb is transforming, and we locals are totally here for it as we watch our property values skyrocket. If you are thinking of moving to Bracken Ridge 4017, we have got you covered.
