Commentary	Located approximately 10km north of the Brisbane CBD, Virginia is a mix of industrial centres and residential housing. Virginia can be broken down into about 40 per cent light to medium industrial and 60 per cent residential houses with a few townhouse developments mixed in. With close access to employment the area has become a mix of young and established families and retirees. While few bargains can now be found in the area, it is not uncommon to see current residents upgrade their homes. The excellent facilities in and around the area have seen the popularity of Virginia remain high and as such result in significant price growth. Facilities such as hospitals, schools and shops are readily available to residents of Virginia. Chermside offers residents access to two hospitals and a major shopping centre featuring all major retailers and a restaurant and cinema complex. Residents also have easy access to Toombul Shopping Centre. Leisure facilities around Virginia include plenty of bike ways and walk ways, picnic and barbeque spots near lagoons and wetlands in neighbouring Boondall. Musical and stage shows are also close by at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre also in Boondall. Families are well serviced by numerous private and public schools such as Nudgee College in and around Virginia, accommodating both primary and secondary aged children. Public transport is also good with three railway stations in the vicinity (Virginia, Boondall and Zillmere) and city express bus services running at regular intervals. Major roads such as Gympie Road or Sandgate Road put the commute to the city at around 20 minutes. The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coasts are also easily accessible via the Gateway Motorway. Source: REIQ
