I am looking at a property in Alexandra Hills, east of Brisbane (not affected by floods). It is a 4 bed, 2 bath home, the median for that area is around $425k and this is well under and in need of some small cosmetic changes. I would like feedback as to the suburb itself. It lies between Cleveland and Capalaba but doesnt seem to have seen the growth that these two areas have. Its about 35 min to the city (driving) any comments welcomed Thanks
I have a Residex suburb report on this area, you are welcome to email me and I will forward it to you.
Domain suburb profile for Alexandra Hills
Wikipedia on Alexandra HillsGetting feedback for a suburb a good resource is talking to specialist property managers, the more people you talk to the better cross referencing you can do, nothing beats feet on the ground research though, you can even check how wet your feet are getting which is an important consideration when buying property at the moment.
Spent few years in Alex Hills, it is a working class suburb (or was in 2005). Have not seen unemployed people, mainly trades people. You will note that it can be somewhat noisy over weekends as all are handyman type, making something on weekends, working on cars, drinking beer and cocking BBQ's. Overall friendly place to live.
There are few areas with in suburb itself, mid class workers and those who retired or have some well paid jobs ($70K+).
Shopping is close by, water is 10 min drive. Have not seen train, got to be miles away. Old suburb, houses mainly build 30 years ago.
