Benefit from South Brisbane’s walkable lifestyle

There’s plenty of benefits when you purchase within a highly walkable area. Aside from the relief of not being stuck in traffic, living in a suburb with a high walk score affords you with better health and wellbeing, cost saving benefits, and a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. What’s more, you could potentially be adding value to your property!

We break down why purchasing at Brisbane 1 – located in the walkable suburb of South Brisbane – is beneficial for buyers.

What is a walk score?

A walk score measures the walkability of any suburb or address and is calculated on a points system, ranging from 0 (very car dependent) to 100 (a walker’s paradise).

The suburb of South Brisbane has a walk score of 92, and Brisbane 1 itself has a walk score of 97 – classifying both locations as a ‘walker’s paradise’. According to walkscore.com, a walker’s paradise classification means daily errands can be achieved without a car.

If you’re travelling a little further than your legs can take you, you’ll be pleased to know that South Brisbane is also ranked a ‘rider’s paradise’ by walkscore.com, receiving a transit score of 100 – the highest possible score available.

Why is walkability important?

When you reside in a walkable suburb that has easy access to public transport and essential amenities, you’re likely to live a healthier lifestyle than those in car-dependent locations. But it’s not just your waistline that can benefit from a high walk score.

Living in Brisbane 1, located in the walkable suburb of South Brisbane means you don’t necessarily need to own a vehicle – which can save you thousands annually on car ownerships costs.

What’s more, every point above 70 in the walk score system could add between $700 and $3000 in value for your property compared to neighbouring, less walkable suburbs. As the walk score gains traction in Australian real estate, this could be a huge drawcard should you decide to rent or sell your property in a highly walkable suburb.

And finally, for the environmentally conscious, choosing to walk instead of driving or taking public transport can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cut down traffic congestion and reduce noise in your local area.

With all these factors, buyers are set to benefit greatly from purchasing at Brisbane 1.
