Suburb Profile Manly West

 

Local Government Authority Brisbane
Location 13 km from CBD
Features Proximity to Moreton Bay, Manly West rail station
Commentary Close to Moreton Bay and about 20 to 25 minutes (more in peak hour traffic) from the Brisbane CBD along Wynnum Road, Manly West has attracted a variety of residents wanting the bayside lifestyle without the Manly price tag.

With very little land left in close proximity to the waterfront, homebuyers wanting the bayside lifestyle are attracted by Manly West's close proximity to the bay and reasonable prices. While most opt to renovate older homes and cottages, for those who have set their sights on a new home, the Manly Panorama residential estate is located at Hargreaves Road.

Manly West is serviced by train (to the Brisbane CBD - approximately 35 minutes) and regular bus routes incorporating the surrounding suburbs.

The Wynnum Hospital is located in Whites Road, Wynnum. There are plenty of public and private schools (approximately six primary, two secondary, six kindergartens). The closest TAFE is at Alexandra Hills approximately 10 minutes away from Wynnum.

The suburb has access to all the major supermarket and retail chains; there is also Manly Harbour Shopping Village and street shopping available. Nurseries are also plentiful in the area. In neighbouring suburbs, Capalaba Shopping Centre and Carindale are within 10-15 minutes.

The area comes alive during the summer months with plenty of bike and walkways, community swimming pool and a well-maintained seawater wading pool, as well as many outdoor activities such as canoeing, rollerblading, and biking (all available for hire).
