Baringa, QLD 4551

Baringa is a fantastic family friendly place to live. Just 10 minutes from Caloundra and coastal beaches, easy access to the highway to get to Brisbane.

Close to everything Sunshine Coast has to offer with easy access to Brisbane City.

Baringa is the best of both worlds.. Affordable & leafy with plenty of great beaches, shops, public and private schools all within 5 - 10mins. Central to Brisbane & Noosa (less than 1 hour drive each way) Future train line will allow for an even quicker connection to Brisbane CBD.

Lots of small parks and green spaces, plenty of bike paths , great for families seems amazingly well established for such a new suburb

Green and leafy, great schools. Close to beach 5 - 10mins. New arterial road to provide shorter travel time to Brisbane. Only 10-15 mins to the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Heaps more infrastructure in the pipeline - New Train / transport hub + New University + People's place + New Shopping Centre.

As an Agent there is no other suburb where kids can ride to school in a quality planned estate with wide bike paths - love seeing them every morning !

I've been living in Baringa for a year now and I love it - my house is beautiful and new, the neighbourhood is very friendly - I walk my dog and people chat to me all the time.

Family friendly suburb with wonderful walking / bike paths close to everything.

Baringa is a great suburb with new everything and top quality amenities. Bike paths are great for getting out and being active. So safe for the kids to go riding to the many local parks and perfect for Parkrun which is held on Saturdays. There’s a great local tavern, swim school and possibly the biggest and best IGA in the country.

While some home sites are small there are many over 800sqm so like any suburb variety is everywhere. Mixed demographic of people and ethnicities which is awesome and wonderful community spirit. Some locals but many people are from North America, UK and NZ and a lot of people have built from Melbourne and Sydney.

Baringa is situated at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast making it a perfect location for those needing to head to Brisbane. 30 minutes to the Sunshine Coast airport and 45min to Brisbane airport. Lots of owner occupiers and varying age groups. Mix of white and blue collar professionals.

New Aura city being built nearby in Nirimba which should have future jobs, shops and entertainment covered. Future road to Bruce Hwy will be completed 2022 which should take a big chunk of time off the commute to Brisbane.

Only negatives I have are the streets could be a little wider, and at the moment as Baringa is a new suburb the trees are still young and so that leafy feel isn’t there yet, but this will come over time.

Everything exists within this little suburb. New Primary School, High School and Child Care Centre. Local shops includes supermarket, bakery, doctors, dentists, multiple food options and a tavern. Many park options for varying interests (bikes, skating etc.) and ages with no home more than 400m from a park. Safe environment with a good neighbourly atmosphere. Lots of things to look forward to as surrounding suburbs develop including expansion of neighbouring business park, new direct connection to the Bruce Highway (2022) and new shopping, community spaces, schools and private school in neighbouring Nirimba.

Pros:
Facilities (Shops, Schools, Parks).
Green Space.
Pathways (include cycleways).
FTTP internet.
Many professionals and business owners.
Wide range of people from international, interstate, ethnicities etc.

Cons:
Generally small blocks which are not for everyone although you can find larger lots available. Flip side is it covers a wide demographic of buyers.
Would be great to have a local chemist.
Lack of postal facilities.

Location:
15 minutes to multiple beaches.
20 minutes to Hinterland towns.
10 minutes to Bruce Highway.
1 hour 20 minutes to Brisbane.
