Real Estate Everton Park

In January 2013, frustrated with the limitations of the corporate world, Madeleine opened her own real estate agency on Trouts Road and is now doing it her own way and bringing back the transparency when buying and selling property. Everton Park, about 9km from Brisbane's CBD, is an established suburb popular with a mix of residents including families and retirees. The increased demand for housing in the area has seen some unit and townhouse blocks replace older housing over the last few years. The area is popular with young and established families, but is also attracting young professionals looking for affordable housing close to the city, which is about a 20-minute trip away. Much of Everton Park's popularity stems from its central location, good transport, and its access to shops and schools. Shopping centres in the area are Everton Plaza (featuring a medical centre, and Coles Supermarket), Stafford City Shopping Centre and the AMC Cinemas, Brookside Shopping Centre, and Westfield Chermside. Mt Maria Junior and Senior Colleges, Hillbrook Anglican School, Northside Christian College, and McDowall State School in neighbouring suburbs supplement Everton Park State School and State High School. There are also a number of swimming schools and sporting grounds in the area. Teralba Park is a feature of the area providing plenty of room for outdoor activities and hosting the local Guides Association. Public transport in the area is good with regular bus routes servicing local shopping centres and going into the Brisbane CBD. Mitchelton, Gaythorne and Enoggera train stations are the closest to Everton Park and are approximately 5 to 10 minutes by car. Source: REIQ
