Cashmere

Perched on the north-western outskirts of Brisbane, Cashmere is a residential area with a rural outlook. Locals take full advantage of the nature on their doorstep – with rivers, bushland and parks in the area, Cashmere has great spots for walking, biking, canoeing and wildlife watching. It attracts families and professionals looking for space and an escape from the city, which is a 30-minute drive away.

As sheltered and peaceful as Cashmere is, it is still close to amenities. There are shops, gyms and a medical centre in town, while bigger shopping complexes (like Westfield) can be reached in ten minutes. There are a number of schools in the area, and even more just a short distance away in Albany Creek, Aspley, Bald Hills, Brackenridge and Eatons Hill.

For buyers, there are lifestyle and acreage properties on offer, as well as up-and-coming urban developments.
