Profile

Runcorn is about 19km from the Brisbane CBD and is a popular suburb with young and established families.

Neighbouring Sunnybank Hills, Kuraby, and Eight Mile Plains, its family focus can be seen in the walk and bike ways available in a number of local parks, and the local soccer and baseball fields.

Runcorn primary and high schools service the area's educational needs and Griffith University is in close proximity for those undertaking tertiary education.

Steady demand for housing in the area has seen extensive townhouse developments around Runcorn in recent years.

They have been supplemented by developments in Kuraby and Ridgewood. Despite this, housing in the local area remains predominantly single-detached dwellings. While there are not many bargains left, some undeveloped acreage land is still available for buyers wanting to build their dream home.

Sunnybank Hills and Sunnybank Shopping Centres house all major retailers and cinema complexes only a short car trip away.

Regular bus routes service the shopping centres and a local train station makes the Brisbane CBD easily accessible.

Runcorn residents are also close to the Southeast Busway terminal at Eight Mile Plains.
