Redlands is arguably Brisbane’s most liveable area. Situated idyllically on the doorstep of stunning Moreton Bay protected by North Stradbroke Island, which is a short ferry ride away. Despite its obvious appeal, Redlands experienced low population growth between 2011 and 2016, with just 7700 new residents. The fastest growing suburbs were Mount Cotton, Thornlands and Redland Bay. The vast majority of Redlands real estate consists of houses with more than 95% of dwellings houses, many on larger blocks or acreage. There are only 2,312 units in Redlands but with potential views to Moreton Bay from many locations, developers will be eyeing off development opportunities as Redlands captures the attention of migrants and Brisbane residents looking for a sea change.
