An Introduction to North Lakes
Around 26km from the Brisbane CBD, this fast-growing suburb features thoughtful design, abundant green space, and walkable amenities – providing contemporary living with family-friendly convenience.
The recent approval of a $180 million “mini-James Street” tourism and dining precinct - complete with a 5-star hotel and high-end retail – shows that North Lakes continues to experience major uplift as the region gears up for the 2032 Olympic Games.
With an office located right in the heart of North Lakes in the Moreton Bay region, the team at Lauren Jones Buyers Agency has deep local insight into the suburb’s best streets, property types, and micro-markets.
Only a few decades ago the area was a stately pine forest, with North Lakes only emerging as its own suburb in the early 2000s. This sparked a period of rapid development and modern infrastructure growth.
Why Choose North Lakes?
Today, North Lakes is framed by more established neighbours such as Kallangur, Mango Hill, Deception Bay, Rothwell and Dakabin, and offers an easy connection to both the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane via the Bruce Highway. The suburb is known for its landscaped parks, lakes, and pathways, making outdoor recreation a natural part of daily life.
North Lakes is home to a diverse mix of properties - from low-maintenance units and townhouses to modern family residences and premium golf-course-side estates. Its extensive retail and commercial precincts, including Westfield North Lakes, Costco, and plentiful dining options, place almost everything residents need within minutes of home.
Excellent schools, health services, public transport links, and ongoing infrastructure investment further enhance the appeal of this dynamic, growing community.
