Mount Low QLD 4818 · about 16 km from the Townsville CBD

Mount Low is a modern family suburb in Townsville's northern corridor, with around 5,490 residents at the 2021 Census. Bushland Beach is only minutes away, and the CBD is about 20 to 25 minutes by car via the Bruce Highway.

Most homes are modern three- and four-bedroom houses and newer estate homes, many with pools and side access for boats or caravans. That suits young families and outdoor lovers who want a newer home and a short drive to the beach. Kilcora Park and the estate parks provide green space, and Northern Beaches State High School is close by in Deeragun.

Shopping is at North Shore Marketplace and in Deeragun, and RAAF Base Townsville is about 10 km away. With many similar homes in the suburb, sellers benefit from strong presentation and highlighting extras like pools, solar and side access. Most homes are built to modern cyclone standards, but low-lying land near drainage corridors should be checked on the council's flood maps.
