Thanks for the tour, I'm a Yank also and want to move some place in Australia that I can indulge my interest in snorkeling and reef keeping. Its amazing how affordable Australia is and I like the old Queenslander style houses.
All I can say is THANK YOU for this video! So much detail and information, I literally feel like I've been to Townsville after watching this. Myself and my husband are moving over from the UK in the next couple of months and this has only made us even more excited! x
And if you own a caravan or a motor home and you need to get repairs done you can email the RV service centres, and I can guarantee from personal experience that you won't even hear from them. Not to mention the high crime rate.
Thank you for the detailed (and funny) introduction to the city! Visiting Townsville for the first time through your video has been a nice experience. If I ever have to buy a property there, I will contact you, guys.
Geat Video - thanks for promoting the land of opportunity (where the AUSTRALIAN DREAM is still possible)!!! @ 15:25 = a lovely riverside park in the suburb !!Mundingburra :) - very leafy spot- just across the weir bridge near Annandale - not as $$$ as Annandale, Douglas and Idalia + houses near that park/river didn't get flooded as bad :))- the older suburbs have a lot going for them too :)
Townsville is Crime City, it probably has the highest rate of house break ins in Australia. And the amount of d-heads on the road is amazing, the Townsville drivers get upset over nothing. I only drive into Townsville when I have to, always great to drive out of Townsville, and get back to peace & calmness
finally a good (and up to date) video about Townsville ! excellent work Rob ! I am planning on retiring there in about 2 years so I need to get in touch with you ...
Fantastic video! I've just sold my house in Perth and thinking of buying in Melbourne since the prices have now dropped there but Townsville and surrounds are so beautiful! I love swimming and I'm just not going to be able to do that in rainy, cold Melbourne so I'm really considering moving to QLD. This guy really sells, Townsville so well! What a personality! Register with a talent agency my man, if you haven't already. You belong on a TV travel show! Just letting you know that the instagram link on your website isn't working and opens an insta account that doesn't exist :)
@@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsvilleHaha! Oh my son! 😂 I just found you and followed you on IG. (The instagram link on your website isn't working by the way). I'll keep an eye on your listings, thanks 😊
Townsville was my home for 16 months. I miss most are the people strangers greet you in the street but like all places it has its flaws my biggest bugbear was Employers Not Responding to Job applications it took me four months to find a job which was managed by a boss who had no respect for boundaries/RDOs/fair work rulings and employment contract clauses. If it wasnt for this clown I'd still be living in this great city instead of having to moving back to New Zealand
Rob you are a breath of fresh air. Loved this video you did of Townsville and surrounds; and it definitely helped me to decide to move there. I wish you well in all your future endeavours. PS: How many coffees do you have before breakfast? 😄 Love your work brother. 💌
@@ManyEagles I used to have eight coffees a day but recently I've cut down to two. Thank you for the lovely comment! You're clearly more than one eagle.
@@dummekunst7708 Far out. I've never made a video this long. I had no idea that my hand movements would look so repetitive in a long form video. It's actually really embarrassing and I hate it! 🤣
This is a fantastic video Rob, but you forgot to mention that the lack of surfing is ok since we have one of the best kite surfing spots in the world, just next to Pallarenda! 😅
Nice video we always go to airlie beach to holiday but tienville looks like a place to reside as its more affordable . The only thing stopping me is the bad reputation of theft break ins etc . I’m in Melbourne and this area is no better to be honest. Can you suggest some good suburbs. Where do you reside ?
@@kimberleydownunder I've lived here for 17 years and I've had three attempted break-ins. What I've discovered is that if you have your doors locked.. they don't try very hard. When I was head of the neighbourhood watch in the Douglas area. We found that most of the thefts were based on people leaving their cars or screen doors unlocked.
@@kimberleydownunder I've got a video coming out in the next few days about 20 different suburbs so make sure you stay tuned. Personally, I live in Railway Estate.
@@BiyaYahzluan You'll have to have a decent car to get to farms from JCU. There will be mango picking and work in the fields but you might have to drive an hour to get to it. My suggestion would be looking for work at a fast food place or at a shopping mall like stocklands. It's right down the road and you can take a scooter or a bicycle. There you can sell clothing or hand people sushi. There's also jobs in Townsville for taxi drivers always. It's not much fun but it pays pretty well. When you get here let me know and I can help you find some people who can help you find work.
@@BiyaYahzluan It's a real problem. Are you planning on living on campus on JCU or are you planning on sharing a house? I can help you with what it would cost to share a house, but it's hard to get a house willing to rent to shared international students when it's easier to rent to a single family.
Another Real Estate agent here to hyper inflate the local market. Not much mention of the youth crime or the drunken soldiers or meth problem lol. Property in Townsville is already well on its way to catching up with the rest of the economy.
@@CuttingEdgePropertyTownsville The sales figures posted on your website indicate an average sale price of 500k+ meaning that you're selling these houses for an average increase of 33%. I think that's inflating the market.
In addition.. as you could imagine since I'm a real estate agent.. I work specifically to get sellers as much money as possible. That's my job. That's what I do. That's why I get paid. So if my house is are selling for more then I'm getting paid for a good reason. That's why sellers choose me. 🤷

Great video Rob and team. Moving up next year so this was helpful!
In Townsville around 2000 the winter days were around 25 every day, now with global warming winters days are about 27-28 every day (NOT 24)
Can you explain why it’s gotten into the 14’s the last couple of years?

Are there many sporting opportunities, football in particular? 🤔
I'm not a sporting guy myself unless you count hiking or cycling...
However, the whole town is footy mad and there are football clubs everywhere!
There’s zero opportunities for anything in shitsville. It’s like an economically destroyed third world country
