Rangeville appeal grows ever stronger

SITTING a mere five kilometres southeast of the CBD, the residential suburb of Rangeville remains a popular location for investors and families.

Renowned for its tree-lined streets and spectacular views from the edge of the range, the main focal point of the suburb is Picnic Point – one of Toowoomba’s oldest recreation areas.

The popular area presents panoramas that encompass the Lockyer Valley, with Tabletop Mountain prominently in the foreground.

Picnic Point has multiple playgrounds making it a favoured choice for families, including the Witch’s House playground in Heller St Park, which has hosted and continues to host many children’s birthday parties.

For the adventurous, from the top of the range and down through bushland to the east, are several graded walks and a bridle trail.

The median sale price in Rangeville is $440,000 for houses (up 1.1 per cent) and $325,000 for units (dropping 8.1 per cent this year on the back of a number of developments in the area).

Making Rangeville even more popular with families are the school facilities, including Rangeville State School and St Joseph’s College.

Rangeville State School is one of the most sought-after public school facilities in the city and with catchment enrolments, a residential address in the suburb is desirable for many families.

The Range Shopping Centre and High St Plaza provide quality retail options including supermarkets, takeaway food outlets and restaurants.
