Northern corridor โ€” near Caboolture ยท City of Moreton Bay ยท 4.5 kmยฒ ยท Walk Score 22/100

โšก Beverley's read

Bellmere the practical option at the northern end of the corridor ? a modest suburb west of Caboolture that offers affordability without the commute penalty of going even further north. The Bellmere State School provides local primary education, and Caboolture's shopping and railway station are just a few minutes down the road. With a median house price well below the Moreton Bay average, it's the kind of suburb first-home buyers discover when they realise Morayfield and Burpengary have already priced them out.

Living in Bellmere: New Homes, Old Prices

Bellmere is Caboolture's growth frontier โ€” new housing estates spreading west from the old town centre, attracting first-home buyers and young families with the promise of a brand-new home at an accessible price. The suburb is still taking shape, with new streets, parks, and homes being added as the estate developments roll westward.

Bellmere State School opened in 2012 to serve the growing population. The Caboolture railway station and shopping precinct are 10 minutes east. The Caboolture Hospital and Morayfield Shopping Centre are both within 15 minutes. For buyers who want a new home in a growth corridor at the most affordable end of the market, Bellmere is a strong contender.
