Tranquilli­ty will return you to nature

BLUE Mountain Heights continues to be one of Toowoomba’s more popular suburbs, ideally located just 7 kilometres north of the city and just a few minutes drive from a host of city amenities and parklands.

The majority of the suburb is located to the east of the New England Highway and makes the best of the stunning escarpment position and views across the Lockyer Valley.

Turning off Murphys Creek Road, Skyline Drive runs along a spur of the Great Dividing Range parallel to the highway.

A series of cul-de-sac streets run off Skyline Drive, which forms the spine of this section of the village-like suburb – affording the properties a great sense of privacy and seclusion.

The area abounds with natural fauna such as king parrots, echidna and possums and the suburb has a comfortabl­e, establishe­d feel with tended gardens and a bush outlook.

There are many architectu­rally designed houses from different eras and this creates a unique character for each home, with most positioned to take the spectacula­r views into account.

The median sales price for the suburb of $585,000 is 5.6 per cent lower than it was a year ago.

The vast majority of residences in the suburb, 98.9 per cent, are separate houses with the remaining 1.1 per cent made up of townhouses and villas. It is 10km to Murphys Creek and a short drive to Highfields. There are no shops in the suburb which adds to the tranquilli­ty. Supermarke­ts are available in nearby Highfields or Northpoint Shopping Centre, adding convenienc­e to peace and quiet.
