KENMORE IS THE UNOFFICIAL CAPITAL OF BRISBANE'S WESTERN SUBURBS. IT HAS TWO MAJOR SHOPPING CENTRES, MANY BANKS AND FINANCIAL OUTLETS, DIRECT ROUTES TO BRISBANE CBD AND THE WEST, AND YET STILL RETAINS ITS LEAFY ROOTS WITH PLENTY OF NATURAL BUSHLAND AND PARKS. KENMORE DATES FROM THE EARLY 1880'S WHEN IT IS THOUGHT THAT A LOCAL SETTLER NAMED IT AFTER THE SCOTTISH TOWN OF THE SAME NAME. IN 1918, KENMORE WAS HOME TO 30 FARMERS, A BUTCHER, A GROCER, AND A BLACKSMITH. THESE DAYS, THERE IS MORE CHOICE FOR THE AVERAGE CONSUMER WITH THE SHOPPING CENTRES AT KENMORE VILLAGE AND KENMORE PLAZA SERVING LOCALS ALONG WITH THE MANY SMALLER OUTLYING SUBURBS TO THE WEST. AT JUST OVER 5 SQUARE KILOMETRES, KENMORE PACKS A LOT IN, AND EXTENDS FROM THE WESTERN FREEWAY IN THE EAST TO MOGGILL CREEK IN THE WEST. HOUSING IS LARGELY DETACHED, BUT WITH A RECENT SURGE IN RENOVATION AND MODERNISATION, THERE IS NOW A SPRINKLING OF HIGH QUALITY TOWNHOUSES AND UNITS IN AND AROUND THE CENTRE. THERE IS ALSO A WEALTH OF RESTAURANTS AND TAKE-AWAYS, MAKING KENMORE A POPULAR AND LIVELY HUB. ACCORDING TO THE REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE OF QUEENSLAND, KENMORE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE STRONG GROWTH THROUGHOUT THE NEXT DECADE, AS IT ATTRACTS INTEREST FROM FAMILIES LOOKING FOR ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF FACILITIES BUT STILL ABLE TO ENJOY THE LEAFY ENVIRONMENT. MOGGILL ROAD AND THE WESTERN FREEWAY LINK KENMORE DIRECTLY TO THE CITY 11 KM AWAY, VIA MILTON ROAD OR CORONATION DRIVE, MAKING IT AN EASY TRIP FOR CITY COMMUTERS WHO WANT A PEACEFUL RETREAT. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PRIMARY AND STATE SCHOOLS, ALL OF WHICH ARE HIGHLY REGARDED, MANY SPORTING FACILITIES AND PARKS, CHURCHES, HEALTH CENTRES, DANCE ACADEMIES, MEDICAL CENTRES, A NEWLY OPENED LIBRARY, AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT ROUTES TO THE CITY, NEIGHBOURING TOWNS AND SUBURBS SOUTH OF THE RIVER. KENMORE HAS BOTH A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE AND AN UPBEAT FEEL-GOOD FACTOR, AND HAS MANAGED TO KEEP ITS CHARACTER AND STYLE, DESPITE ITS SIZE AND THE FACT THAT IT IS A MAJOR LOCAL CENTRE. ANYONE LIVING HERE WOULD SIMPLY NOT WANT FOR ANYTHING. RATES FOR THIS PROPERTY ARE $406.93/QTR EXCLUDING WATER AND SEWERAGE. PHILL BROOM : 0419 760 904
