Suburb Profiles

Location: 7 km from CBD This suburb is located seven kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD. Moorooka contains a diverse array of housing styles ranging from two-bedroom workers cottages through to larger family homes, many of which are located on the elevated parts of the suburb. Moorooka is a conveniently located suburb and many of its homes have magnificent city views. Some parts of Moorooka are quite leafy with many homes located beside Toohey Forest Park. Moorooka has seen quite substantial capital growth in median house prices in recent years due to its location near the City and the opportunity its housing mix has presented to an ever-increasing section of the population who wish to renovate older style houses. Consequently, the suburb has in many places received a makeover in recent times. Moorooka is well serviced by public transport infrastructure. The suburb has its own railway station and has regular CityXpress bus services. The Brisbane City Council has increased the level of funding it has allocated to upgrade the amenity of Moorooka over recent years. One of these projects has been a recent completion of a major refurbishment of the Moorooka Shopping Centre. Source: REIQ
