Yes SBH is a much better place to have one. I don't buy townhouses but one of the only complexes in Brisbane that I would even consider is in SBH.

What are the changing demographics in these areas exactly? I haven't lived there for about a decade so I've kind of lost touch. I just remember driving past Runcorn / EMP a few years ago and thinking holy crap it's little Korea!

I'd buy a house in Runcorn, but never a townhouse. As you said there are an epic amount of them. For townhouses I'd go to areas that are highly desirable but have very few of them - like Macgregor, Sunnybank, parts of Sunnybank Hills.

I really like the pockets directly across the road from EMP. The 3-4-5 streets south, I think are great. Anything further south I'm not interested in.

I think this was almost inevitable even as early as 15 years ago. Runcorn has probably got the highest percentage / concentration of townhouses that I'm aware of anywhere on the south side and being in such close proximity to Sunnybank and Griffith Uni it basically meant it was only a matter of...

I'm also noticing the shopping centre along Warrigal Rd (where the old Bi-Lo used to be) is slowly becoming the Korean hub. It's full of Korean restaurants and a Korean supermarket. I can see that part of Eight Mile Plains / Runcorn becoming like the Strathfield of Brisbane. This is actually the...

I have one. It has had great CG but honestly I wouldn't buy there again unless it was in that small pocket near Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown. That hotel though, it's so weird. Who opens a huge high rise hotel in the suburbs. I don't get it. It's good, but it doesn't make any sense to me but...

Personally I don't get it. I've seen a few sell for mid-500's. Why. I'd rather buy something slightly worse in Runcorn for that price. It has a train station, really good busses via Warrigal / Gowan Rd, proximity to EMP and Sunnybank, and...shops. Algester is a wasteland of nothingness when it...

I lived in that area for a long time and this is how it works in the asian community (which are the primary drivers of these suburbs): 1) Sunnybank is always #1. Robertson, Macgregor and Stretton are sideways steps and may choose them for different reasons. 2) When the market goes too high...

Agree, if you want land this is the best bang for your buck. If you want location but no land the other suggestions are good.
