Ipswich has come such a long way in just a few years! Renovated homes and beautifully restored historic buildings make the streets really charming, and the brand new Nicholas Street Precinct is a highlight with its amazing kids’ library. There are plenty of great new cafes, restaurants, and bars popping up everywhere, plus a free wildlife zoo, loads of outdoor activities, and great shopping. On top of all that, it’s so much more affordable. You can still get a big family house with an enormous backyard for under $800,000 and still enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that makes Ipswich a really lovely place to visit or call home. It’s also so easy to access Brisbane CBD by road or train (40 minute drive), The Gold Coast (1hr 10min to Surfers Paradise Beach) and Sunshine Coast. So many really relaxed family friendly suburbs around Ipswich.
