Question 1

Is Woody Point a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Woody Point sits on the Redcliffe Peninsula facing Moreton Bay and has a relaxed waterfront village atmosphere centred on its foreshore reserve and the Woody Point Jetty. The esplanade is lined with cafes, parks and picnic spots that are popular for walking, fishing and birdwatching, and there are boat ramps and moorings for recreational boating. Housing ranges from traditional Queenslander cottages to low-rise apartments and contemporary waterfront residences, attracting families, downsizers and sea-change buyers. Local shops and community facilities cover everyday needs and the peninsula's road links make travel into the wider Brisbane region straightforward. The suburb is home to 4,548 people and has a median age of 53, with a strong presence of couple households and owner-occupiers.

The foreshore is the focus of a council-led renewal, including upgrades to coastal protection at Crockatt Park, a planned replacement seawall and new foreshore infrastructure to improve access and support events. Earlier plans also include a segregated cycleway and a naval memorial at Gayundah Arboretum Park. These public works should improve access to waterfront amenities and the esplanade for residents. Whether Woody Point suits you will come down to the waterfront lifestyle and a quieter, established community feel.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Woody Point?

Accepted Answer

On these figures for Woody Point, buying sits well above local incomes at the last Census: the median house price of $1,004,500 is about 15.7 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, and the median unit price of $1,239,000 is about 19.4 times that annual income. Renting also takes a large share of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census — $650 a week for a house is roughly 53% of that weekly income, while $560 a week for a unit is about 45.6%. Whether those numbers feel expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Woody Point a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The most striking movement in Woody Point over the past 12 months is house values, which climbed 27.5% — a strong rise. Unit values rose 8.7%, a solid increase. Rents also moved higher: house rents were up 8.3% and unit rents up 7.7%, both solid rises.

If you’re weighing Woody Point as an investment, the value figures show capital growth over the year while the rent figures show how rental income has changed. House prices were the clear standout this year, rising much more than unit prices, while rents for both property types increased at similar rates. Whether that pattern fits your goals depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income.
