As with its surrounding suburbs, Nudgee - located approximately 13 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD - offers residents affordable housing, with easy access to modern facilities and leisure activities. For this reason it is home to a mix of young and established families and retirees.
Facilities such as hospitals, schools and shops are readily available to residents. Chermside offers residents access to two hospitals and a major shopping centre featuring all major retailers, restaurants and a cinema/entertainment complex. Residents also have easy access to Toombul Shoppingtown.
Leisure facilities in Nudgee include the Nudgee Golf Course and the local rugby league club as well as natural picnic spots at the Nudgee Waterhole Reserve and the Nudgee Recreation Reserve.
Neighbouring suburb Boondall also provides plenty of bike and walk ways, picnic and barbeque spots near lagoons and wetlands. Musical and stage shows are also easily accessible at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, also in Boondall.
Although there are no schools located within Nudgee's suburb boundaries, schools in Boondall, Banyo, and Zillmere cater to both primary and secondary aged children.
Public transport is also very accessible with three train stations in the vicinity (Nudgee, Banyo and Bindha) and city express bus services running at regular intervals. The Gateway Motorway separates the Golf Course from the rest of the suburb and provides excellent access for residents wanting to visit either the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast. The major road in the area - Sandgate Road - puts the commute to Brisbane City at around 20-25 minutes.
The majority (90 per cent) of housing around Nudgee is single unit detached dwellings or houses as opposed to townhouses and units. The demand for housing in the area has been reflected in Villa World's recent development of single unit detached dwellings in Boondall. The excellent facilities in and around the area have seen Nudgee's median sale price grow strongly over the last five years.
