Discovering One of Queensland’s Most Popular Downsizing Locations

For many years, Queensland has been recognised as an idyllic location for retirees seeking a sea change. When you consider the ‘almost’ all year-round sunny weather, relaxed lifestyle and affordable homes, Queensland can make for an appealing region to downsize to.

In the latest figures by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Queensland gained 9,800 people from net interstate migration over the December 2020 quarter, which is more than any other state or territory in Australia. From these findings approximately 11% were aged 65 years or older. With some of the worlds most stunning beaches, a vast coastal line greeted by lush rainforests and beautiful outback countryside waiting to be explored – living a relaxed lifestyle in Queensland is made easy.

In 2020, Queensland’s inland city of Toowoomba was named the second most popular retirement and downsizing destinations by an analysis undertaken by Downsizing.com.au.

Often referred to as Queensland’s Garden City, it is known for its colourful façade all year round and is home to over 150 gardens. The region is a nature lovers dream surrounded by National Parks and lakes, it is rich in history, and true to its country style hospitality as a thriving food region with fresh produce and local markets.

It is here that you will find the charming Bridge Street Community. This well-established over 50s community is designed for a peaceful and active lifestyle with an array of amenities and a thriving social calendar.

Residents can take up a new hobby with many activities to choose from including darts, crafts, billiards, line dancing, and cards or meet like-minded people at the monthly coffee and catch-up groups. Keep active by enjoying the amenities on offer such as the swimming pool, bowling green, croquet, and tennis court.

Conveniently located near local shops and essentials services and a 90-minute drive from Brisbane, the community strikes the prefect balance of country living with access to modern amenities.
