Morayfield

One of the most northern Brisbane suburbs there is, Morayfield is a perfect mix of modern lifestyle and laidback coastal living.

Flagstone
Our number 1 destination back in 2022, Flagstone is still one of the most popular choices for a home in Brisbane, coming a close second this time! Flagstone has seen massive growth over the last few years, mostly thanks to the planned expansion of the region, with a planned 50,000 new homes to come in over the next few decades.
The rapid expansion across the region means there are plenty of new facilities being built and implemented. New schools and shopping centres, combined with expanding housing infrastructure, means capital growth and property prices have risen over the last few years.
By getting into Flagstone on the ground floor, you’ll be getting access to an amazing growth area, with thousands of new homes and infrastructure planned for the future. At No1 Property Guide, we have access to blocks across Flagstone that aren’t available to the public. This gives us the ability to provide you with affordable, no or low deposit house and land packages without needing to try and save the huge deposit most lenders require.
Simply fill in our pre-qualification form and our New Home Consultants can give you all of your new home options in Flagstone and the Brisbane region.
Logan
Logan has been one of the most in-demand suburbs in Brisbane over the last 5 years, and it doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon! With a number of large developments happening across the region, Logan has gone from being one of the most easily accessible locations, to being one of the most in-demand and hardest to secure.
This increase in demand has seen land and property values skyrocket, with land increasing by as much as $50,000 in just a few weeks. This can make it basically impossible to save a deposit. Simply because prices are rising faster than most renters can save.
However, with easy access to the M1, and plenty of growing infrastructure throughout Logan and the Logan Reserve area, it’s quickly becoming apparent that there’s nowhere else many home buyers would rather be right now.
Darren Walters and our New Home Consultants have helped dozens of renters achieve their homeownership dreams in Logan, and could possibly help you as well. Using Darren’s unique no or low deposit system and his pre-qualification form, you could be just a click away from your dream new home in Logan.

Ripley
A new entry on our list this year, Ripley is the most western suburb on our list, and is a bit contentious, as some might claim it’s not even a part of Brisbane! But we think it counts, so here it is.
One honestly, can you blame us? When it comes to nice suburbs to live, it ticks all of the boxes. Great access to major roads, train stations, and other public transport. Modern amenities and lifestyle, but far enough from the CBD to avoid the hustle and bustle of the inner city. It’s truly a fantastic option for any potential homeowner!
In our opinion, Ripley is a fantastic choice for first home buyers looking to enter the market with no or low deposit. With the Queensland government heavily investing in development in the region, Ripley is a quickly growing suburb, with new schools, shopping centres, hospitals, roads, and other infrastructure being built and developed at record speeds.

Heathwood is the smallest suburb on our list today, but that doesn’t detract from the popularity of this amazing area.

But with a growing number of developments and increased demand for well-sized blocks in the Brisbane region. Heathwood has seen a huge spike in interest over the last few years.
Just under 30km out of the inner city, Heathwood has amazing access to every part of Brisbane. While still being far enough out of the city to give you privacy and a backyard!
