Bulimba Lifestyle: Perfect Balance Between Luxury and Simplicity

January 10, 2020

The suburb of Bulimba is considered as one of the best places to live in Queensland, especially for families and professionals. The suburb offers a contemporary and diverse lifestyle with accessible amenities, convenient transportation, collective community, high employment rate and quality way of life.

Housing in Bulimba

Bulimba’s real estate is applauded for its many housing features mainly its location but so much more. Architecture designs for most properties accommodate the contemporary lifestyle of the community. The median property price in Bulimba is $1,280,500. Gallery Homes is building prestige homes with stunning architecture. Many of these luxury properties in Bulimba stand out because of their quirky design and modern features. Leafy greens surrounding the entire suburb balances luxurious lifestyle and simple living. Architectural homes in Bulimba are modernly designed to maximise space, accommodate home security systems and improve lifestyle. There are many older style homes in the suburb currently under renovation and will soon enter the market. You’ll see a lot of properties with bespoke interior and exterior designs. Another trend going on not only in Bulimba but in the entire city of Brisbane is the Super-garage craze. Homeowners are turning their cluttered garage into a real estate selling point. Some are turning their garage into a creative space and others into a gym. Another great feature of Bulimba is that it’s next to the Brisbane River. The suburb is attracting a lot of buyers from other states interested in waterfront properties. More are sure to come, mostly from Sydney and Melbourne.

Bulimba CityCat

Living in Bulimba means having the Brisbane river right at your doorstep. The suburb has a strong village atmosphere with all the trees, the river and the quiet vibe. On the right side of the river is the lively city of Brisbane just 20 minutes away from Bulimba. You can also take the CityCat to get to the city. Many of the residents consider Bulimba as an “inner-city island.” With the river in between, residents enjoy the best of both worlds, proximity and separation. Most properties in the suburb have their own terrace, balcony, verandah or bay window that gives people a beautiful view of the city skyline and the river. During the summer, residents and visitors are still able to stroll around with the breeze from the river pushing the heat away.
