Situated on the outskirts of the rapidly growing Townsville region, Bohle Plains is set to continue on a positive house price growth trend, with rising migration to the region driving demand for quality housing.  

Between 2016 and 2021, a total of 43,221 people were recorded moving to the Townsville region from within Australia (Profile Id). This trend of migration has continued into recent years as the option of remote work has become more commonplace after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

It’s no surprise then that demand for real estate in Townsville has inadvertently trickled down to surrounding suburbs such as Bohle Plains.

Bohle Plains lies just 17 km from the Townsville CBD, giving it a good balance of quiet living and convenient access to the city’s lifestyle amenities. Featuring Harris Crossing, a 4,800-lot master-planned community as its main residential area, Bohle Plains has incredible potential for future growth as development activity accelerates in the North Queensland region.
