Deeragun QLD 4818 · about 16 km from the Townsville CBD
Deeragun sits beside the Bruce Highway at the gateway to Townsville's northern beaches, with around 4,270 residents at the 2021 Census. The CBD is about 20 to 25 minutes' drive away, and the beaches are just up the road.
The homes are a mix of established family houses, newer estate homes and some larger blocks on the fringes. That range suits first-home buyers, growing families and people wanting a bit more land. Deeragun is also a secondary school hub, with Northern Beaches State High School and St Anthony's Catholic College's secondary campus both in the suburb.
A local shopping centre with Coles handles everyday needs, North Shore Marketplace is next door in Burdell, and Michael Hooper Park and Broadmeadows Park are local favourites. RAAF Base Townsville is about 10 km away. Most homes are built to modern cyclone standards, but low-lying land near creeks and drainage corridors should be checked on the council's flood maps.
