Bracken Ridge

"Nice suburb for Middle Income Families"

I have lived in B.R for 12 years. Below is my general read of different parts of B.R., with no realestate experience other than what i can see in the local paper or on Real estate.com.au

- Roughly bordering Phillips street, Norris Road, Denham St & Telegraph Road is generally newish housing, not that leafy - say last 15years. (my estimate 500,000+)
- Roughly bordering Philips Street, Denham St, Barrett St, Bracken St, Gawain Road & Norris Road is generally leafy housing between 15 and 40 years old. (my estimate $400,000+). Quite a few houses on higher elevations ($500,000+)
- Roughly bordering on Barrett St, Playford St, Bracken Ridge Road & Norris Rod looks like it was housing commision houses. (my estimate $350,000)
- Roughly bordering Norris Rd, Bracken Ridge Rd, Hoyland St & Greenore St is generally leafy housing between 15 and 40 years old. (my estimate $400,000+). Quite a few houses on higher elevations ($500,000+)
- Roughly bordering Greenore St, Norris Rd, Telegraph Road, Hoyland St and Gympie Arterial Rd is generally newish housing, not that leafy - say last 15 years. (my estimate 450,000+)
- Between the Barbour Rd/Norris Rd roundabout an Telegrapgh Road is a lot of units and apartments built in the last few years (compared ot the rest of B.R. which is virtually all houses.
- Bordering Barret St, Playford St and Gateway Motorway is is generally newish housing, not that leafy - say last 10 years. (my estimate 450,000+)
- bordering Denham St, Barrett St, Telegraph Rd/Depot Rd and Gateway Motorway is quite a few older big blocks (acreage) (my estimate $600,000+), mixed in with newer standard blocks ($450,000+) and units/apartments ($350,000+)
- South of Telegraph road and North of Roghan Road (Fitzgibbon) is currenlty being developed for high density housing.
- Woolies (Barrett St) and Coles (Norris Rd/Telegraph Rd) have small shopping precincts in B.R. which are handy. With a small business shopping precinct in Gawain Road.
- quite a few parks, Northpoint TAFE, schools, pre-schools/Kinders/ day care as well. Library on Bracken Street.
- 5 minutes drive to waterfront (Bright, Sangate, Shorncliffe)
- Railway station at Carseldine (5 minutes drive)
- 2 minutes onto Gateway Motorway to easily go north (Sunshine Coast) or south (Gold Coast), about an hours drive either way.
