Commentary	Manly continues to appeal to a variety of residents due to its bayside location. The suburb is located about 17km from the Brisbane CBD. It is serviced by train and the journey to the Brisbane CBD will take approximately 35 minutes. Distance by car to the CBD is about 20 to 25 minutes along Wynnum Road - longer in peak hour. A wide cross section of couples and families are being attracted by the extensive redevelopment around the waterfront precinct and the inspired street scaping around the Wynnum and Manly areas. With very little land left in close proximity to the waterfront, homebuyers wanting the bayside lifestyle are renovating older homes and cottages - contributing to median price growth. The Wynnum/Manly area is well serviced by commercial and retail precincts, which continue to thrive as the area gains in popularity. The suburb has access to all the major supermarket and retail chains; there is also Manly Harbour Shopping Village and street shopping available. In neighbouring suburbs, Capalaba Shopping Centre and Carindale are within 10-15 minutes. The Wynnum Hospital is located in Whites Road, Wynnum. There are plenty of public and private schools (six primary, two secondary, and six kindergartens) in the area. The closest TAFE is at Alexandra Hills approximately 10 minutes away from Wynnum. There is also a School of the Arts and municipal hall acting as the hub of local activities. Attracting homebuyers and visitors eager to make the most of the 'outdoor lifestyle', Manly has plenty of bike and walk ways, a community swimming pool and a seawater wading pool. In the summer, residents and visitors have access to outdoor activities such as canoeing, rollerblading, and biking (all available for hire). With immediate access to Moreton Bay, Manly is a boat owner's dream with easy access to the Manly Boat Harbour and the coastguard. The area's yacht club attracts interest from people all over the region. Source: REIQ
