I did a lot of research before i purchased my first home in Acacia Ridge. The area in which I purchased is very ideal for renting, it's extremely close to shopping facilities, parks, restaurants, good private schools and a pub. Plus it's close to the highways
if your heading towards the city for work. Acacia Ridge is undergoing a massive facelift at the moment, and expected to be an important business hub by 2030, which will offer a city lifestyle. At the moment, prices are relatively cheap, and there is a high demand of people wanting to rent property in the area, due to all the amenities and facilities.

Originally i purchased this home as an investment for the future, and planned on putting the property up for rent. But as i've been currently living at the property i can't see myself moving away now, i've fallen in love with the place and love seeing all the new buildings being constructed on my journey to work each morning. There seems to stigma to 'Acacia Ridge as just an industry area', but i'm positive it's all about to change. I've started to see a few business people walking around, 5 years ago this vision was merely impossible. The streets are clean, and new trees have been planted everywhere. Old homes are being sub divided, or demolished and restored with brand new homes. In my street alone I've already seen 2 houses been knocked down, and being cleared out to be replaced with new dwellings, and alot of old homes are being replaced with apartments or townhouses to increase the population and demand Acacia Ridge is seeing.
Virtually Flood free compared to neighboring suburbs like fairfeild and Rocklea

This suburb has a lot much potential, and i wont be surprised if Acacia Ridge becomes one of Victoria's important hubs in the near future. It has almost everything, a shopping centre, Garden city 10minutes away, Brisbane markets close by, qe2 hospital 5minutes drive away, a lot of parks, new housing estates, golf courses close by, good private and public schools, and a heap of employment opportunities. And commutes to work are no problem with a drive taking 15mins and 25minutes in peak hour and good public transport. With a new station to be built after the cross river rail. And an extension of the cross river rail to be 2km away to be built .

Believe me invest in this area before the boom hits, and read my words again in another 5-10 years and see whether you could of taken this opportunity or let it pass by. With some of the last LMR developments site under 500k. Acacia Ridge has been considered a low socio economic suburb for some time, and with all these improves made by the government and council, it's only a matter of time people will be coming to move here by the bus load.
