Acacia Ridge, Archerfield and Rocklea

The Acacia Ridge, Archerfield and Rocklea Lifestyle

The older-style residential housing found in Acacia Ridge is reminiscent of post-war years. Most dwellings are Housing Commission-style weatherboard homes and low-set brick and tile cottages. All are ripe for renovation and many sited on large blocks. A small number of modern townhouse complexes are a relatively recent addition to the area

Overall Southern Suburbs is a sought after place to live. This is a great place to live and over the next few years there should be good capital growth for property owners. Southern Suburbs is a wonderful suburb, great easy access to Brisbane City and surrounded by amazing parklands, excellent schools, charming cafe's, bars and restaurants. No matter where you are in the suburb you are never far from everything you could possibly need. There are enough restaurants for a good way of lifestyle, cafes and bars along both Holland Road and Logan Road to keep us entertained and good bus access into town or South Bank (only ~6 km away). Good access to motorways and public transport including the new train station. Doctors, schools, babysitting are all nearby. Still plenty of units with a mix of heritage listed queenslanders, post-war and modern homes. Up towards Cav Road many of these are on elevated spots that catch great breezes and city or suburban views. With 100 businesses located in the Moorvale shopping area on Beaudesert Road, it’s easy to shop and eat locally. The African community has left its mark here too, with grocery stores, hairdressers and Halal butchers meeting the needs of the new locals. New cafes are popping up on street corners to make sure that this neighbourhood is well fed and caffeinated, without having to jump in the car. It's a great place to raise kids, good neighbours. Overall Southern Suburbs has a friendly community spirit where neighbours catch up at the letterbox or for street barbecues. Everyone is willing to lend a hand if one is needed and strangers will greet you while a smile and a “G'day”. There are plenty of parks to walk the dog or take the kids to play with purpose built bike tracks and picturesque pathways through bushland and parks
