The eastern suburbs of Brisbane boast an eclectic mix of old and new. Attractive traditional wooden houses sit side by side with striking modern creations built from concrete and glass. Sitting comfortably in attractive blocks with plenty of vegetation, Brisbane’s eastern suburb homes have something everyone can enjoy. An array of choice of Brisbane rental properties exits in this thriving and dynamic area.
When you’re considering Brisbane rental properties, however, there is more to consider than the house itself. The ultimate aim of a successful rental property in Brisbane is one that results in satisfied tenants who are content and keen to stay. To achieve this, it’s worth thinking beyond the garden fence.
It’s All About Location – Exploring the Shopping Centres of Brisbane’s East
A beautiful, spacious home also needs to be within easy reach of local services that can meet tenants’ needs. Without convenient access to transport, medical services and shopping it could be hard to find tenants who’ll want to stay for more than just one rental term. Conveniently, Brisbane in general boasts a number of shopping centres with all the facilities a tenant could need. But selecting just the right position presents a few more questions!
To help tenants in their choice of locations to live, and potential landlords choose the best location for a future investment, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best shopping centres in the wider Eastern suburbs of Brisbane.
