What are peoples thoughts on Auchenflower, QLD?
My parents have asked me to find them an IP in Brisbane for around 350-400k and I suggested thinking around the Auchenflower/Paddington/Rosalie area. (We live on the Gold Coast/Brisbane and they would like to be able to keep an eye on it).
Yield isn't critical as they are looking for capital growth and plan to buy outright - so around 5-6% would be the aim.
I rented in Auchenflower this year and I really like it. For me it is one of Brisbane's best suburbs (along with Paddington). A unit we would be looking to buy would be listed undervalue, close to the train station, close to toowong and wesley hospital, close to the park road and rosalie restaurant, etc.
Do people think that Auchenflower is bound to bounce back and receive significant capital growth over the next 10 years as it is just 2km from the Brisbane CBD and is already a desirable place to live?
I thought I read somewhere that the mining boom in QLD might have a postive effect on the Brisbane CBD as work is created in the office sector as well out in regional areas - but I am not sure, might have just made that up haha. But I thought I read it somewhere.
Anyways, any thoughts on the prosperity of Auchenflower - good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
