Located approximately 20 kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD, Bracken Ridge first started out as a mix of housing commission homes and potato farms. It has since developed into a thriving suburb featuring a mix of early housing and high set and low set brick homes developed more recently.
Bracken Ridge is made up predominantly of houses with relatively few unit or townhouse developments. The suburban lifestyle is popular with young and established families. Vacant land in Bracken Ridge is limited but further subdivisions are occurring.
A mix of affordable housing and new development has made Bracken Ridge a strong performer in terms of price growth and has seen residents upgrade to new housing in the same suburb.
The current state of the market and current buying incentives should see the suburb, and in particular the new developments, prove popular with first home buyers.
Families in the area are well serviced with a number of schools in Bracken Ridge and the surrounding suburbs catering to both primary and secondary school children. St Josephs Catholic Cathedral is located in Phillips Street, Bracken Ridge.
The suburb is also home to North Point Institute of TAFE and has easy access to the Carseldine campus of the Queensland University of Technology.
Recreational facilities in the local area include the Bill Brown Cricket Ground, numerous parks, and bike and walk ways.
Public transport in the area is also good with regular bus routes supplemented by easy access to the Bruce Highway and the Gateway Motorway. Using the gateway arterial, Brisbane Airport is only a 15 minute drive.
Large retail chains and supermarkets are available at Westfield Toombul and Chermside, both of which are easily accessible by public transport or major roadways. The larger centres are complemented by local shopping villages.
