In terms of natural beauty, living in South East Queensland means beaches, rainforests, mountains and rolling hills are on your doorstep. With the Commonwealth Games set to hit the Gold Coast’s glittering shores, Brisbane’s rising infrastructure and ‘The Golden Triangle’ property region attracting investors, it’s little wonder the region is hitting the news.

Plus, here are six reasons why it is, quite simply, a great place to live.

South East Queensland has relaxed, positive vibe

South East Queensland living puts the city, the beach and the forest on your doorstep.

1. South East Queensland feels like a holiday destination, even for locals

With Brisbane’s big city appeal in the middle and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts on either side, South East Queensland basks in the relaxed, positive vibe of perpetual holiday-makers.

2. Work commutes are shorter than from most large cities

For those with a penchant for country living, commuting to the city isn’t the ordeal you might expect. Brisbane airport is just 20 minutes from the CBD and rural areas with small towns, country pubs and homemade pies are within an hour’s drive, as are the beaches.

5. Entertainment options suit every taste

As everything’s located within a few hour’s drive of each other, you can be on a Gold Coast beach in the morning, hiking through the forest in the afternoon and catching up for dinner, drinks and a world-class theatre production in Brisbane to top off your Sunday.

Or, if you prefer, have a round of golf on a championship course, museum-hop, shop till you drop and visit a tourist attraction or two, during a normal weekend on the Sunshine Coast. Dive, fish, horse-ride, hang glide, skydive, jet ski, go-cart or attend a craft convention. Whatever it is you like to do, you’ll find it in the nearby vicinity.

6. It’s beach and barbeque weather all year round

While temperatures do drop during winter, skies tend to be crisp and clear, reflecting brilliantly on perfectly rolling waves. Locals swim in every season and it’s a very rare day, that’s not a beach day. This makes South East Queensland fairly unique, when compared with many of the best regions to live in, across the globe.

Perhaps, therefore, the top reason to live in South East Queensland is the ease in which you can maintain work-life balance. Weather, natural wonders, infrastructure and career opportunities combine, to create a little slice of Aussie paradise.
