"Brisbanes most underrated suburb"

Fantastic place to live! By the bay, nature, peaceful, great neighbours, walking distance to bars and restaurants in Manly and the Marina, a train station and 25 minute drive to the city. Brisbane’s best kept secret (for now)! Undervalued pocket rocket of a suburb!

"Great Value Bayside Suburb"

Lota is one of the most under rated suburbs around. It has a great primary school, good rail transport to the Brisbane CBD, plenty of parks and fantastic walks through natural bushland meandering around Lota Creek.

It is located on the beachfront and is also home to the best fish & chips in the area.

"Nice and safe for the kids"

This a great little suburb if you’re looking for somewhere to settle with the family. Up side is there are a lot of parks and it’s close to the ocean. Downside is there’s nothing here commercially. Apart from a dental practice and small family run convenience store there’s nothing not even a cafe. But I guess that’s also why the crime rates so low because it’s basically a dry zone.

"Beautiful Spot"

Lota is a great place to live. It's full of families who take pride in their homes and everyone is in on the community spirit. The beach front on Lota Esplanade is excellent along with all the bike tracks. Love it here

"Nice and quiet"

It's quiet and good for families. There are also a lot of nice parks around. If you are after a place with some nightlife then this isnt it but for families is perfect.

"Gorgeous Sleepy Suburb Perfect for families"

Lota is a small quiet (and somewhat sleepy suburb) nestled next to thriving Manly in Brisbane. It has beautiful tree lined streets and is affectionately known as 'leafy Lota' by the locals. Its a quick cycle or walk away from the ocean and there are beautiful parks nearby. The wonderful sense of community that fills the suburb combined with a low crime rate, and easy access to the CBD (under 30 minutes) makes it a great spot for families. It's still relatively affordable but won't be for long.

"Quiet suburb with nice views"

I grew up in Wynnum, and used to spend some time riding my bike around Lota. It's very quiet and peaceful and has nice views in some parts. The train station makes it an easy ride from Lota > CBD. It's kind of boring though, all of the action happens in Wynnum and Manly.

"Secluded, Sunny, Bay side living"

Nestled nicely next to its big Sister Manly, you can find the peaceful, naturally abundant little suburb of Lota. As you drive along the esplanade from Wynnum through Manly, you are suddenly met with a tranquil expanse interrupted only by the laughter of children at the Bay side park or people out enjoying the wonderful Bay views from a whole new perspective as offered by Wynnum & Manly.
Tree-lined streets stretch back from the Esplanade and form their own unique community, where smiling at your neighbours is still an everyday occurrence. New built homes sit respectfully next to their elder counterparts offering an eclectic mix of living options.
Lota sits near the central train line to the City and is in walking distance from Manly with local shops & restaurants sure to tick all the boxes. Or stroll to the Boat Harbour with its stunning photographic vistas and mooring/dining & social options. With reputable schools and an enviable outdoor culture, you would be wise to seriously consider Lota as a place to begin your next chapter.

"Lota is Brisbane's hidden gem!"

I'm not sure that people realise half of Lota's streets extend into Manly. A lovely, leafy suburb with a gorgeous community feel.

Great for

  • Close to bay
  • Parks and natural areas
  • Quiet and peaceful

Not great for

  • Can be some biting midges at times

"Just like being on holiday . . . everyday"

Tucked away in a very quiet peaceful place, is a lovely little suburb called Lota. Although it is only right next to Manly, it is at the end of the esplanade where unless you are scenic driving or visiting an admired friend or relative, you would not ever need to travel the quaint tree lined streets.

Lots of new built homes but still many beautifully restored homes and replica homes. A resident for many many years, I love the sense of community feel, walking to the many local parks or along the waterfront, knowing how lucky we are to everyday feel like being on holiday. Escape the hustle and bustle with only a hop skip & jump to all busy society need (state schools, private schools, fine dining, casual dining, 30 mins to Brisbane CBD, by train or motor vehicle) The list just goes on . . . . sorry I can't chat all night, I want to sit on my deck and smell the bay air while I enjoy a lovely barbeque with my wonderful and very very lucky family.
