Or at least it wasn't a proper beach last time I was there, not sure if they have created one since. It's a coastline with mostly mangroves and very questionable sand in certain areas. There's a boardwalk along it that you can walk/cycle along. If the beach is what you're after, rather than just living in walking distance of the coastline, i'd probably start looking north of Sandgate and south of Ormiston. Also strictly speaking, Brisbane ends at Brighton and Manly. Further north and south is part of Greater Brisbane Thanks for the insight. It probably pays for a visit after boarders are open someday, and get a feel of those suburbs. I'll have a particular look at Sandgate and surrounds and Redcliffe island area. Re: Which bayside suburbs to pick in Brisbane? 4Sep 15, 2021 1:53 pm Yeah if you're thinking of buying to live, rather than invest - I'd definitely pay it a visit. The state borders will probably be open by January, if not earlier. That whole Redcliffe peninsula area used to be called retirement island, but with the construction of train station, as well as increase in remote work it seems to start catering more for younger population. Re: Which bayside suburbs to pick in Brisbane? 5Sep 16, 2021 2:04 pm I live on the Redcliffe Peninsula and it is a beautiful place to live. There are alot of beaches you can swim at and heaps of parks. There is a heap of restaurants and cafes along the waterfront. It is only about 30km to the Brisbane CBD and definitely worth looking at. There isn't much land left in Redcliffe to build, only Newport and that is selling quickly. There are alot of knock-down rebuilds going on as well. Great place to do a triathlon (there is one on this weekend) and there is always something going on including weekend waterfront markets, surf lifesavers (we don't have surf though), Kite Fest was on the weekend, Parkruns and other events. You may still have a case, but your next step is to speak to a lawyer. 3 1577 10 15685 Thanks for your reply! We're definitely not after a small house Might still have a chat to them. Who did you end up building with if you don't mind me asking? 2 2570 |
