Commentary	This suburb is located seven kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD. Moorooka contains a diverse array of housing styles ranging from two-bedroom workers cottages through to the larger family homes, many of which are located on the elevated parts of the suburb. Many of the homes within Moorooka also have magnificent city views. Some parts of the Moorooka are quite leafy with many homes located beside Toohey Forest Park. Moorooka has seen quite substantial capital growth in median house prices in recent years due to its location near the city and the opportunity its housing mix has presented to an ever-increasing section of the population who wish to renovate older style houses. Consequently, the suburb has received a makeover in many places. Moorooka is a conveniently located suburb, which also has a diverse range of housing styles. Moorooka is also well serviced by public transport infrastructure; the suburb has its own railway station and has regular city express bus services. The Brisbane City Council has increased the level of funding it has allocated to upgrade the amenity of Moorooka over recent years. One of these projects has been a recent completion of a major refurbishment of the Moorooka Shopping Centre. Source: REIQ
