Andrew’s Expert Advice on Bald Hills
Like most of Brisbane’s northside, Bald Hills is an older suburb, so it is important that I check for any damage as a result of neglect or wear over time. I have inspected over 100 homes in the area and know when structural damage is just not worth the investment. Some parts of Bald Hills are also prone to flooding – so make sure that you get me, your professional Brisbane property inspector, booked in to check whether your family will be safe in your potential new home!
Why should I move to Bald Hills?
Bald Hills is a very convenient place to live. Within 10 minutes’ drive, you could find yourself at Westfield Chermside, Strathpine Shopping Centre, or the southern end of the Bruce Highway. From there, you have easy access to the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
If you venture south, you are within 20 minutes of the Brisbane CBD. With its own train station with lines to the city and Redcliffe, and numerous bus routes, Bald Hills is a commuter’s paradise! This coupled with its relatively affordable homes and almost rural setting makes it very popular with young professionals and young families. The suburb is known for being a quiet place to raise a family, with beautiful leafy green streets that erupt into glorious lavender in the spring time due to all the wonderful jacaranda trees in the area.
To the west of Bald Hills lie the Bald Hills flats which is a large flood plain mostly used for cattle grazing. Go further along the Pine River and you’ll find yourself in the Tinchi Tamba wetlands reserve, an area known for being home to native wildlife like kangaroos. 33% of Bald Hills is covered in green spaces, so it’s the perfect place for your family if you’re looking for a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of city life.
