Acacia Ridge, QLD 4110

I moved here thinking the houses were quaint and the suburb was multicultural, and because I was told it was gentrifying and improving.

It’s just full of young adults on motorbikes riding through Mortimer Park and the streets non stop with it helmets, grown adults fanging around the streets on motorbikes, little turds on bicycles with mower engines attached (and no helmets of course), and a bunch of small p*nis losers who have to revv their engine at every stop sign, intersection, traffic light and speed bump. There’s not a moment of peace and quiet ever in this hell hole of a suburb. Between the bogans who can’t seem to find a meaningful hobby other than motor vehicles and reproducing, the airport could not give a flying f*ck about the community.

My bins were stolen before I moved in. A transient accosted me on my second day. People wander into my yard regularly.

Those who say “great for families” - yeah, I’m you want your child hit by a car and to have learning disabilities from all the noise.

Acacia ridge is being revitalised before our eyes and lots of good food options locally make it a great place to live

Bought into AR recently with my young kids near mannington street. I am very surprised and it’s been way more neighbourly than we were expecting. Lots of young families and swings on nature strips etc. kids ride their bikes freely on the streets.

We don’t have city views from our house but some streets do. Houses available under 1 million at the time of writing this in 2025 but don’t know for how much longer.

I think the suburb maybe was held back by some industrial perceptions but I can confirm it all feels very seperate from our area besides we have access to some amazing international foods also. We are very happy to get our forever home here in Acacia Ridge and consider ourselves lucky given the hot market in Brisbane currently

Hubby is a professional pilot so proximity to Archerfield is important for his maverick lifestyle. We moved out further to Inala but really enjoyed our time in acacia ridge, it’s growing up very quickly and getting a lot of attention. Quality neighbours and lots of excitement regarding the 2032 Olympics which makes it a fun place to live

Unrivalled position 14km from Brisbane CBD. Triumphant pedigree and strong investment area for home owners and investors alike.

Acacia ridge by name is so pretty, although the main road is quite industrial. Hopefully they soften it over time with more trees! So many young families are moving in and we’ve loved seeing it grow and change in such a short time. Great central suburb

The rent is cheap and for the most part the area doesn't flood. Before moving here, it's definitely worth checking out QP's crime statistics and getting insurance quotes for where you're thinking of renting/ buying. The neighbours are generally pretty friendly, however, unfortunately there's a few groups of teenagers of a certain look that do get up to mischief during the holidays. If you're near a school or the shops, CCTV would be a good investment. The parks are constantly filled with litter and broken glass, so please be mindful when walking with dogs and children. In the past 3 years we've had attempted break ins at Easter and Christmas when we aren't home for overnight trips every year.

Bought a free standing house 14ks from the city. Plenty of shopping, restaurants and the Uni nearby.
Put up cameras the second week after moving in. The less desirables don’t bother coming past now. Neighbours are supportive and friendly. I can’t afford nearer in yet, pretty happy so far.

We bought here just over 5 years ago, bought a small cottage and have since renovated extensively. The area is conveniently located, have numerous cafes and dining options and has plenty of kids playgrounds and dog parks. Since moving here house prices have started to move north and there seems to be alot more new builds and renovations going on.

We Regularly go walking the dogs and have never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. Alot of diversity which is great and alot more people out and about and exercising and taking there kids to the park then what there was 5 years ago says alot about where the suburb is heading.

There are a alot of rentals around but far less then 5 years ago, it seems as the area raises in value it's starting to be more owner occupied. Certain parts of the area are obviously not as good as others though I've found that in every suburb I've lived.

Friday nights can be loud if your close to Beaudesert road or the race way but I think sooner rather then later the car meets at Elizabeth St shops will be a thing of the past.

The council has upgraded alot of the parks and put new play and workout equipment as well as new toilets. The park on Mortimer road is set to have a new zero depth water park, walking track and skatepark sometime in the future.

Plenty of things to do like PCYC gymnastics, water play centre, parks, ice skating numerous eatery options and skatepark as well as well established football club, pub and schools.

Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills and garden City shopping centre all very close aswell.

My family and I intend on staying long term due to location, ammenites and future property growth.
I believe once a train station is located in the area property will go through the roof.

Great undervalued up and coming suburb that will take off as it is one of last ones at the current price point on the southside of brisbane.
