Suburb Profile Kuraby

Features	Elevated area, Kuraby rail station
Commentary	The suburb of Kuraby is 17 km south-west of the Brisbane CBD and borders the suburbs of Underwood, Stretton and Runcorn. According to REIQ research Kuraby has seen exceptional growth in terms of its median house price growth in recent years compared with neighbouring suburbs. The main reason for this is the attractive topographical elevation of the area, creating an atmosphere of leafy bushland tranquillity. The suburb has also undergone extensive residential development in the last few years. As would be expected the housing styles of the newly developed areas of Kuraby are high and low set brick and tile homes. There are still some examples of older-styles houses - post war weatherboard cottages left over from the days when the suburb was first established. The area is developing infrastructure as the community base increases - at the moment the suburb boast a State Primary School, a railway station that runs to the City and south to the Gold Coast, it has a shopping precinct with its main commercial district being serviced by the nearby suburbs of Underwood.
