Why live in Nundah?
At just 8 km from Brisbane’s vibrant city centre, Nundah is close enough to the city to make a working commute easy, but far enough away to provide a unique village-type lifestyle.
Originally a working-class suburb on Brisbane’s northside, Nundah has undergone several changes in its history. From a busy shopping district to a congested thoroughfare to Toombul Shopping Centre, Nundah has become gentrified in recent times. Now, Nundah hosts a glorious mix of beautiful heritage buildings and trendy modern apartments and units. Residents rave about the weekend markets, the small-community feel and the ease of access into the city. The Nundah cricket club is a pretty, family-friendly place to while away a summer afternoon or enjoy a drink at the rooftop bar. There are two public primary schools and two private schools, making Nundah a great place to raise a young family.
Up and coming Nundah
The decision by Brisbane City Council in 2001 to construct a road tunnel that diverted traffic from the once-busy Sandgate Road changed Nundah forever. Rather than lead to the suburb’s decline, this decision proved the making of modern Nundah. Retailers, developers and investors could begin to see a change for the better after the heavy traffic was diverted. Council also invested in the future of Nundah by funding a suburban renewal program which has seen the rise of new art installations, trendy cafes and restaurants, and a host of other commercial enterprises which together create the village-type atmosphere Nundah is now known for.
This rebirth of Nundah was pitched to residents who sought reasonably priced homes close to the city. As interest in Nundah soared, so did house prices, which eventually priced the traditional working class out of the suburb. As a result, Nundah’s popularity has exploded among white collar workers seeking moderately priced homes and apartments only a short distance from the city.
Residents of Nundah are offered the best of four worlds – an urban village-style lifestyle focused on dining and retail, nearby Centro Toombul offering major retail outlets and a cinema complex, connections to the CBD via rail and road, and Brisbane’s nearby international airport.
Homes in Nundah range from small worker’s cottages, historic two-storey timber and brick houses, and rustic Queenslanders to town houses and more spacious modern apartments. Whether you’re looking at older or newer homes, it’s crucial to obtain a qualified building inspector well in advance to ensure your investment is sound.
