Commentary	About 13 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD and about 25 minutes by car (more in peak hour), Wynnum West, like its neighbouring suburb of Manly West, is attracting buyers who are looking for relatively affordable, quality housing by the bay. Over 50 per cent of houses accommodate families and retirees and older residents who make up the majority of the population. A wide cross section of couples and families are being attracted by the extensive redevelopment around the waterfront precinct and the inspired streetscaping around the Wynnum and Manly areas. As demand has increased the services and amenities around Wynnum West have adapted ensuring new and existing residents are well serviced by commercial and retail precincts, public transport and local amenities. Train services (to the Brisbane CBD - approximately 35 minutes) and regular bus routes incorporating the surrounding suburbs ensure that residents can get around easily without private transport. The Wynnum Hospital is located in Whites Road, Wynnum and residents are serviced by 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 West. The suburb has access to all the major supermarket and retail chains; there is also Manly Harbour Shopping Village and street shopping available. Local shopping villages and nurseries are also plentiful in the area. In neighbouring suburbs, Capalaba Shopping Centre and Carindale are within 10 to 15 minutes. The area comes alive during the summer months with plenty of bike and walk ways, a 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). With very little land remaining, renovation of older homes and cottages are becoming more popular with homebuyers wanting the bayside lifestyle. Source: REIQ
