SOUTH BRISBANE NAMED ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S BEST SUBURBS
With an array of the city’s best bars and restaurants, the South Bank Parklands on its doorstep and an easy commute to the CBD, it’s no wonder South Brisbane has taken out the second spot for the country’s most liveable suburb in a recent real estate survey.
It seems the news is catching on, with the suburb experiencing a phenomenal population growth rate of 6.6 per cent per annum in the five years to 2016, compared to the annual growth rate of Queensland over the same time period which was just 1.7 per cent.
South Brisbane, which has a population of approximately 7,196 received its top ranking based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data that calculated the distances within each suburb to lifestyle factors such as parks or education facilities.
The study revealed that people living in South Brisbane have more schools to choose from than most other suburbs in the country. These include Brisbane State High School, Somerville House, St Laurence’s College, Griffith University and Tafe QLD – South Bank campus.
The popular suburb of South Brisbane is just 1km from the CBD and within easy reach of South Bank Parklands and the Brisbane Cultural Precinct, including the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Queensland Museum, State Library and Gallery of Modern Art.
South Brisbane is also well positioned to take full advantage of over $6.1 billion of established and proposed major investment projects including the Queens Wharf integrated resort and casino development and Queensland Cultural Centre redevelopment masterplan.
Perfectly located in the heart of South Brisbane, the SkyNeedle Apartments project offers residents the opportunity to buy into this enviable location and reap the lifestyle benefits that come from inner city living.
