Bracken Ridge
Overview
Bracken Ridge, known for its suburban ease and convenient location, packed full of families. A lesser known suburb of the Moreton Bay region has recently become a more noticed suburban neighbourhood because of it’s convenience.
Shops sprinkled throughout Bracken Ridge cater to your everyday needs. Barrett Street Shops, Gawain Road Shops and Bracken Ridge Plaza along with Strathpine Centre which is only a 10 minute drive up the road which has a wider range of shopping, entertainment venues and dining. Those wanting to get closer to the bay, Sandgate waterfront is right next door and Redcliffe is an easy drive via Houghton Highway Bridge.
Bracken Ridge itself has a wide selection of schools to choose from (public and private schools), parklands and playing fields for weekend sports. Bracken Ridge is also home to an indoor sports centre, bikeways and walking paths. Bracken Ridge Reserve sits up on a hill with beautiful views towards the bay and across the city. This suburb has all the convenience of being located next to the Gateway Motorway that connects locals to Brisbane Airport and CBD.
There are many family homes on generously sized blocks in Bracken Ridge. Some are newly built while there are others that are well established. So it’s easy to see why Bracken Ridge’s location, convenient living and suburban charm make it a suburb that is hard to beat in Brisbane’s Moreton Bay region.
