Real Estate Belmont

Prime Real Estate in a Prime Location

Much of Belmont has remained as undeveloped blocks of bush land with large rural properties, however, some areas have been built up into residential estates. This suburb has become a wealthy area and is home to large estates that sit on acres of land. Homes in Belmont can range from 330m2 all the way to 930m2 and more. This mix of varying housing and block sizes give Belmont a country feel without the inconvenience of being far away from needed amenities. However, despite being one of the wealthier suburbs, Belmont’s property market has a reasonable value for money. The real estate in Belmont is in high demand which is not without reason. Belmont is situated in a prime location that is close to everything. This suburb provides easy access to the Gateway Motorway in both directions and is only a short five minute drive from the Westfield Carindale major shopping centre. As well as this, Belmont is serviced by Brisbane City Council buses that frequent the area regularly.

Family Friendly

Belmont has been described as a quiet and convenient area that is great for families. Not only is it close major areas of Brisbane, Belmont provides its own great services within its boundaries. There are many schools located in the area, the most major being the Belmont State School, a public school which opened in 1876. As well as this, there is a Belmont High School and even more great schools that are located in neighbouring schools.

Some of the suburb is quite rural and there are blocks of bushland. This makes Belmont have a very green landscape despite the residential areas. Belmont offers many parks for both the young and old to enjoy when in need of a day out of the house. These include Cassandra Crescent Park, Glenavon Street Park, Iona Close Park, Pinnacle Place Park, She-Oak Park, Summit Street Park, and Thredbo Place Park. All of these areas provide many amenities such as playgrounds, picnic areas, barbeques both electric and wood, and bikeways. Some of these parks are located within the estates, providing the area with an open feel and friendly atmosphere.

As well as this, neighbouring areas also offer big and exciting parklands, the most major being the Minnipi Parklands. These parklands border Bulimba Creek and are located on the other side of the Gateway Motorway, offering great amenities such as over seven kilometres of bike tracks.
