Queensland is one of the most exciting parts of the world to live in, and to own property in, which is why Brisbane housing and apartments can be a smart investment, whether you plan to live there, rent them out or keep one as a second home. Property prices in Brisbane and across Australia as a whole are predicted to start rising from 2021, which means there's never been a better time to buy, but of course selecting the right neighbourhood can make all the difference. Here are three areas of Brisbane that could prove a smart choice when it comes to real estate.
South Brisbane
Living in South Brisbane really gives you the best of both worlds; it's just a short drive into the Central Brisbane District, and only an 11 minute ride on public transport, and yet it has a much more relaxed and luxurious feel to it. It's like a commuter district, with the difference being that you don't have to commute for too long, so it's not surprising that property in South Brisbane is in high demand. That means you may have to pay a little more to get your hands on it, but selling it at a later date shouldn't prove difficult. It's also an area famed for the quality of its schools.
Kangaroo Point
Kangaroo Point has an even more enviable location as it's to the east of the city centre on the banks of the Brisbane River. This is an area where striking modern architecture can be found alongside areas of natural beauty, and in many ways, this is the picture postcard Queensland that visitors to the state dream of. Another great advantage to Kangaroo Point is the variety of property available there, including luxury apartments Brisbane with freehold from renowned specialists Banyan Tree Residences. These apartments feature the latest accessories and fittings that bring real style and luxury at an affordable price.
Fortitude Valley
Fortitude Valley is the most vibrant sector of Brisbane, thanks to its world class nightclubs, its great bars and restaurants, and its shopping malls full of the global brands we all know and love. It's certainly an area that comes alive when the lights go down but it's also a fantastic place to live, as it has quiet residential areas away from the hustle and bustle that it's famous for. That makes this a great area for young couples and new families to buy property in, or for those looking for an area of Brisbane that's ideal for buy to let properties.
South Brisbane, Kangaroo Point and Fortitude Valley are all areas which are fantastic to live in right now, but which are also likely to benefit substantially from the rise in property rises that's predicted to arrive in the next few years. Other areas of Brisbane to consider investing in include Corinda, New Farm, Indooroopilly and Dutton Park. When considering property look for one that has great views of this beautiful city or which is close to parkland, as well as one that has excellent local amenities and a good choice of schools nearby. Investing in property in Brisbane in 2019 could be a smart move in more ways than one.
