Brisbane Eastern Suburbs

Alexandra Hills

Alexandra Hills lies between Capalaba and Wellington Point, just to Brisbane’s east. Only Cleveland separates it from the waters of Moreton Bay, making it a popular place to live. Considered a District Centre (next step down from major centres such as Cleveland and Capalaba), local shopping and business facilities are available, together with less extensive community and recreational activities.

Birkdale, Ormiston, Thorneside and Wellington Point

The 'sea change' allure of these suburbs stems from their tranquil bayside location, ample parklands, mix of housing styles and laid-back lifestyle. Sailing and fishing are second to none as Moreton Bay has mangrove estuaries, marine parks and some 360 islands to explore. Land values and house prices have experienced very good gains as the appeal of bayside living has gained pace.

Capalaba

Capalaba is the commercial heart of Redland Shire. Located on the edge of rural farmlands and bushland, beautiful Moreton Bay is just a10-minute drive away. The suburb’s popularity and growth has increased dramatically due to a surge of interest in coastal and near coastal property. Home buyers get excellent value for their money and investors enjoy high occupancy rates, leading to good returns.

Gumdale, Tingalpa, Hemmant and Wakerly

These suburbs have all the joys of a rural setting and yet are still within a stone’s throw of city facilities and the trendy bay side suburbs of Redland. There are many new developments springing up and all are surrounded by parks, reserves and wide-open green spaces.
