Sometimes the smartest move is the one that looks simple on the outside but makes complete sense when you look at the numbers.'
12 Lorraine Street sits on 759m² of flat, usable land in one of Ipswich's most quietly reliable family suburbs. The block is generous, the yard is genuinely spacious, and there's not a slope in sight - which matters more than most buyers realise until they're trying to mow one. It's the kind of property that suits a growing family perfectly, and right now it's also suiting an investor just fine, with a tenant in place at $500 per week and a lease expiring November 2026.
Inside, the home is solid and well laid out. Three bedrooms, a refreshed kitchen with a breakfast bar and timber flooring running through the open family and dining areas, a sliding door out to the alfresco, and a separate family room that gives everyone a bit of breathing space. The 11.5m alfresco is a proper entertaining area - not an afterthought - and the rear yard beyond it has real room to move. There's also a full-length verandah across the front, a single garage, and solar panels already on the roof.
Camira is one of those suburbs that delivers quietly and consistently. Close to Camira State School, with bus stops nearby, Redbank Plaza a short drive away, and easy access to Ipswich City. It's a suburb where families put down roots and stay - and where investors tend to hold rather than sell, which tells you something about the long-term confidence in the area.
Whether you're looking for your first home with the security of a tenant already in place, or adding a solid performer to your portfolio, 12 Lorraine Street is exactly what it looks like - a well-priced, low-fuss property on a great block, in a suburb that keeps delivering.

INSIDER'S SECRET . . .
Flat 759m² blocks in Camira at this price point don't come up as often as people expect.
