Ipswich

The Ipswich lifestyle

Living in Ipswich gives you the benefits of modern amenities and lifestyle, without the hustle and bustle of the big city. Located about 30 minutes west of Brisbane’s CBD, Ipswich is home to the second oldest local government, giving it a rich history for residents to enjoy.

Whether it’s the museums, 1800s architecture, the numerous heritage centres throughout the region, or the incredible Blackstone Castle, Ipswich’s long history offers plenty of options to keep everyone entertained. Of course, there’s also plenty of newer entertainment options as well! 

For the more action-adventure homebuyers, Ipswich is home to a range of bike and hike trails that offer hours of excitement across a range of experience levels. Flinders Peak even has hiking options you can enjoy with the kids as well!

Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more relaxed, check out the local fishing holes, nature reserves or parks. Of course, if you’re a fan of spooky stories, you could also visit the numerous “haunted” churches and buildings that are infamous throughout the region.

• Why a house & land package in Ipswich?

  If you’re looking to escape the rental nightmare and become a homeowner, Ipswich is an ideal choice for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the affordability. Being inland and out of the big city, Ipswich hasn’t been caught up in the crazy property prices like other areas along the coast. This makes it a great choice for those not wanting to spend a million dollars on their first home. 

  But just because Ipswich is a bit inland, doesn’t mean you’re missing out at all. Ipswich is connected to Brisbane through the major roads like the M2 and M6, as well as major rail lines that make communicating to and from Brisbane a breeze. In fact, you can get from Redbank Plains to the heart of Brisbane’s CBD in just 40 minutes thanks to the Ipswich line!

  Of course, on top of the affordability and convenience, there’s also the benefit of the future development of the region to consider. Despite being one of the oldest locations in QLD, Ipswich is still developing with Springfield, Ripley, and Redbank Plains all being actively expanded daily. And just a bit further south, there are booming locations like Greenbank, Flagstone and Jimboomba developing as well. With the QLD government actively promoting these locations as the next big hotspots for homeowners, it won’t be long before major players move into the area, meaning more jobs, schools, restaurants, and other modern amenities become commonplace.
