Balmoral QLD 4171
Why Balmoral?
Balmoral is the neighbouring suburb to Bulimba and is located East of Brisbane CBD. While road access to the CBD is a little bit more limited this is made up by the ferry and CityCat terminals in Bulimba. The area is also well connected by bus and has very simple access to the Gateway Motorway, Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport.
Balmoral is located on the hill and a large number of properties have views of the CBD, Brisbane River and the Gateway Motorway. It has quite a mix of houses, townhouses and units with approximately 65% being houses. There is also quite a large portion of home owners being approximately 70% of the properties in the suburb.
Balmoral is an appealing place to live due to the proximity to the river, the large parkland areas and the easy walk to Oxford Street in Bulimba which is a restaurant, bar and local shopping precinct which is in very high demand. The only negative for Balmoral and the Bulimba area is the drive to the CBD as Wynnum Rd carries very high levels of traffic in the morning and can become extremely congested. Despite this, people still have a preference to live close to the River making Balmoral a popular location.
