Wakerley, QLD 4154

It is a great suburb - particularly good for retirees. It is very quiet and the majority of people are house-proud with tidy lawns and manicured gardens.

Unfortunately, not so affordable anymore for families with young children. Not a great place for renters either but ideal for those wanting large homes in a quiet suburb and who are quiet.

The local woolies at Mayfair Village is considerably more expensive than nearby Birkdale, Manly and much more expensive than Wynnum. Rates have also gone up considerably.

This is a suburb best suited to retirees or professional couples. Limited street parking means that families with adult children will struggle to find parking.

This really is a beautiful quiet little suburb for the discerning retiree/professional.

New and fantastic location

Overrated, busy, HUGE disappointment

A 5-10 minute drive in to Manly and direct access to main roads into the City, Wakerley is a suburb not to be missed especially for its family friendly ambiance and high-level living.
Wakerley is close to local amenities and only a ten minute drive to Westfield Carindale. Yet you can still happily lose yourself in the tranquil surroundings and parks that weave their way between the houses whilst catching the sea breeze that blows gently over from the Coastline and neighbouring suburb of Manly.
As a property hunter, you will find Wakerley a veritable treasure trove, brimming with options!
If you seek being close to the coast yet still on the main City and shopping routes or if you are in search of a peaceful, relaxed and family friendly locale, then you must add Wakerley to your hotspot list!

I live in Gumdale just next to Wakerley. It is the perfect neighbourhood for Families and mature aged couples.
There is a high rate of owner occupied homes, everyone takes pride in their homes and the neighbourhood.
Being only 10 minutes from the Manly shore we get the beautiful sea breezes coming off the ocean.
There are cute restaurants and shops at the Gumdale Village and Woolworths is located at the Manly West Shopping Village only 5 minutes away.
Westfiled Carindale is 10 minutes down the road and the gateway is 5 minutes. We wouldn't choose to live anywhere else!

I find Wakerley to be very peaceful with friendly neighbours and safe streets for the kids to play. There are lovely parks and very good private schools just up the road. There is some aircraft noise but it is bearable and nothing like Seven Hills/Norman Park area. The only downside about living here is the internet is so incredibly slow. I'm from the UK and I find it ridiculous that this lovely new suburb has the internet speed that the UK had ten years ago!

Wakerley is a lovely green leafy suburb that feels like its away from it all yet close to the city. Fantastic schools and wonderful community spirit. One thing that's becoming more annoying is the airplanes that start flying over at 5am in the morning and continue till late in the night. They do occasionally have a day off however if you live anywhere near the Wakerley Park/ School forget about a sleep in or quiet night in.

Quiet family friendly suburb, close drive to Wynnum-Manly shore, 8 minute drive to Carindale Westfield, close to Gumdale & Manly West shops/Restaurants, great walking tracks.

I have lived here for 7 years. Wakerley is close to Moreton Bay, yet is only a short drive to the shopping hub of Westfield Carindale. If I had to recommend the suburb, I'd say it appeals mainly to families and couples. That's because it's leafy, quiet, has great walking/cycling tracks - and boasts 2 great private schools and a couple of very well- regarded state schools. Our estate, Mossvale-on-Manly is very tightly-held, as it was master planned in great detail by Mirvac.

The suburb is adjacent to Gumdale which has some cute local shops. The other main shopping strip is Mayfair Village.

For boaties, Wakerley is a short drive to RQYC and the Manly and Lota foreshore. It's 45 minutes' drive to the Gold Coast and well- connected to the Gateway Motorway - handy for those who work in Brisbane cbd r the "Goldie".

There are koala corridors dotted throughout the suburb and it is a safe and pleasant place for kids and teens to grow up in. I wouldn't live anywhere else - it's gorgeous.
