Runcorn Suburb Profile

Runcorn is a well-established suburb just 15 km away from the Brisbane CBD. It is especially popular
with families – both those starting out and those that are established – as evidenced by the number of
parks and sports fields available for use.

There are primary schools and high schools in the area and Griffith University is nearby for those
wanting to complete their tertiary education.

There are basically three shopping centres to choose from within a few minute’s drive – all of which
feature big retailers and also cinemas – Garden City, Sunnybank Hills and Sunnybank.

Shopping Centre.

The CBD is easily accessible via Runcorn or Fruitgrove train stations or via bus services.

The Make-Up of the Suburb

Around half the residents are married and about a third are in their 20s. Retirees come in at about 9% of
the residents so this is definitely a suburb more popular with younger families.

Property Management Runcorn

Runcorn is a popular area to stay in and, consequently, also a popular area for those looking to buy
investment properties. Property prices are reasonable and there are still bargains to be had.

Property prices in Runcorn tend to follow the trends for the region but have historically outperformed
the average region prices and typically sell faster than your average house in the surrounding areas.

The combination of the more reasonable property prices and popularity of this suburb makes it an ideal
place to buy an investment property.

Running a rental property is not for everyone though and that’s where Yes Rent can step in to help you
effectively manage your Runcorn investment property. It’s as simple as signing the contract and then
leaving everything over to Yes Rent. All you will need to make time for is spending your rental cheques
every month.

What Property to Look at?

The property prices for both houses and units have outperformed those of the region as a whole but,
considering the demographics of the suburb, it is a good idea to look at homes suitable for families –
preferably properties with two or more bedrooms.

Most properties in this area are, in fact, detached houses which could further explain its popularity with
families.
A good proportion of the residents do rent their homes indicating that there is a viable market for
investment properties in the area.

All in all, the prognosis for Runcorn is good – it has a well-established infrastructure, has several
amenities near to hand and is not far from the Brisbane city centre.
