Commentary	Northgate is located 9 kilometres northeast of the Brisbane CBD and like its neighbouring suburbs of Nundah, Wavell Heights and Banyo has seen an increase in buyer demand as a flow-on effect from the city's continuing suburban sprawl. The suburbs close proximity to the city and easy access to arterial roads and public transport has seen the demographic of residents in the area shift to young families and couples. Residential development has been slowing and new buyers have been opting for the renovation of older housing. The situation is similar with vacant land. Supply is limited and given its attractiveness among younger residents the suburb has seen the growth of medium density units. However, the majority of residential properties (70%) in the suburb remain single unit detached dwellings (houses). Local amenities add to the suburb's charm. The Northgate Reserve surrounding Northgate Primary School offers good bike and walkways as does other local parks scattered around the suburb. There are a number of state and private schools in neighbouring suburbs catering for both primary and secondary school children to complement Northgate Primary School. Although Brisbane Grammar School is located away from Northgate its playing fields are located within the suburbs boundaries. The closest hospitals, Prince Charles Hospital and Holy Spirit Hospital are located in Chermside. Westfield Shoppingtown Toombul services residents with major retail and supermarket outlets while the Lutwyche shopping centre is also close. A bit further out to the north on Gympie Road is Westfield Shoppingtown at Chermside. Residents also have access to excellent public transport services with the Caboolture and Shorncliffe train lines running through the area and Nundah, Northgate and Virginia train stations all close by. Regular bus routes also make getting into and out of the City easy. For residents wanting to travel a little further a field, Brisbane's Domestic and International Airports are easily accessible by car. Source: REIQ
