Reviews of North Ward, QLD

27th September 2023

"Townsville's Number 1 Choice of Suburbs!"

This is the suburb that most people want to live in. The popular suburb is home to Townsville's iconic “Strand" precinct.

The Strand is Townsville's Top attraction for locals and Tourists which offers the relaxed atmosphere of community lifestyle including popular restaurants and cafes as well as the family-friendly waterpark.

The outlook is picture perfect looking out to the Coral Sea and Magnetic Island which is only 7klm off the coast.

The other attraction to North Ward is the resale value and how investing in the suburb has proven a great investment decision not only for home owners but investors as well.

"A very nice place"

I live in Elliot Springs just south of Townsville but work in an office in North Ward, I just have to say that although I don't live here, I could imagine myself doing so, its refreshing to have lunch overlooking Magnetic Island as the Seabreeze rolls in, the calming waters and relaxed atmosphere of North Ward make it very popular and its not hard to see why its average price is in the $700,000 range. You really do get what you pay for.

"A beautiful area to live"

I don't personally live in North Ward but I have made new friends that do and it is very relaxed with an eclectic style of housing by the water, the elevated parts of the suburb have superb views to Magnetic Island and the coral sea. It is shimmering on a bright sunny day (no shortage of that here) and people take a real pride in their properties and and ever so keen to help if you require it, just ask!

"Invest Invest Invest"

North Ward is one of the hottest Townsville suburbs with many developments planned and an enviable beach lifestyle with prime attractions like The Strand and Waterpark right on your front doorstep! The Casino is not too far away and neither is great shopping. I recommend North Ward to everyone.

"Great place for everyone"

I love North Ward, the home of the city's prime tourist attraction.. the strand! plus the waterpark, rockpool and the beautiful trendy cafe's and restaurants. You will feel at home in this growing suburb from day one. It will also be in easy walking/commute distance to the new stadium under construction in the CBD.

Being the First Friday of the Month last night the Strand Markets were on again at Strand Park. Free entertainment, local crafts, wide range of food stalls and rides for the kids. This is just on the reasons tourists and locals alike love The Strand and North Ward.

"Arguably the best suburb in Townsville... just ask locals!"

Amazing... as people of Townsville say...the problem with living in North Ward is that you don't want leave it. It is relaxing enough to feel peace but there is always activity so you always have things to do. Nice restaurants, cafes... the beach! The few boutiques in Gregory Street have more to offer than the shopping center because their exclusivity. if you can afford living there then do it. I love livingin North Ward.

"Beautiful life by the sea"

This is a really nice area that is central to everything Townsville has to offer. I stayed here with a friend during a holiday, and got to meet some the locals. They are very friendly. I would recommend this suburb to anyone looking to head north.

"I can't believe I'm so close to the beach for so cheap."

Hey there! Just moved into my North ward unit and I love it. I'm a street back from the Strand, I swim everyday after work and get fish a chips on the way back from the beach. The only downside is it gets a bit busy on the weekend. But for what I paid to be so close to the beach, I can deal with it :)

"A perfect spot for young singles/couples"

North Ward is sooo nice. Close to the beach, close to pubs but not as noisy as flinders street. Plenty of restraunts and parks to relax in. Also a short walk to the city and there is a Bi-lo in the heart too. I never used my car!
