The Changing Face of Albany Creek
When I arrived in Albany Creek in 1984 the old Northern Road was still a dirt road and cows were grazing in the field next to the Tavern. In those days Albany Creek was a sleepy suburb ‘out in the sticks’ or at least that was what many Brisbane people told me. Then it all changed, in the next decade there was a population explosion as todays “Baby Boomers” set up their family homes in Albany Forrest, the Country Club and Eatons Hill. Like many locals, we grew to love Albany Creek and being migrants from the UK, we were made to feel very welcome by the local ‘Albany Creekers’. Today there is a generational change in the suburb, the Baby Boomers children are moving out and we are left to rattle around in our large family homes. Not wanting to move from the suburb that we call home but looking to downsize, there have been few options except for costly maintenance or renovations. What Albany Creek needs are quality modern low maintenance homes that give the retiring Baby Boomers an upmarket alternative right here in Albany Creek. One local developer has seen the need for Albany Creek to change and has designed a brand new development which meets the need for high quality, 14
low maintenance living that would be at home in Teneriffe. The Pesdev Group specialise in developing residential estates that deliver a lifestyle that combines modern architectural design with spacious open plan living in a secure natural environment. Essence at the Creek will bring a new standard of living to Albany Creek. Construction will soon commence on 44 semi-detached homes on acreage at the northern end of Leitch’s Road. The quiet location is surrounded by acreage and parkland just to the north of the South Pine River greenbelt. The new development combines a sharp sense of urban design with quality finishes in a low-medium density format. The homes are not small, with double garages and three bedrooms. You don’t have to downsize your lifestyle to enjoy the modern features and outdoor entertainment areas.

Compare these two identical Rental Properties REMAX RENTAL PROPERTY
RE/Maximise your return!!
IDENTICAL PROPERTY NOT REMAX
Are you getting the most from your investment property? At Remax, we’re serious about our role in helping you maximise the potential of your investment property.
This Remax Rental Property returns $400 a week!
Remax finds a tenant for this property in 1 week!
The best way to maximise your return is to pay close attention to how your property is marketed. Don’t think that marketing makes a difference? Here is a comparison between 2 identical properties, one marketed through REMAX, the other marketed through a different agency. The property marketed by us rented for a whopping $50/week more (that’s $2600/ year)!!! How do we do it? We utilise all the same tools that would be used to market a $1m property, professional photography, 3D Virtual Inspections, Photo sign boards etc. As a result, not only do our properties rent for more, they rent much quicker (6 day average).
For more information on how you can RE/MAXIMISE your investment, call Cristel on 0410680048
This Rental Property only returns $350 a week!
