Ripley Named in REA’s Hot 100 Suburbs – What This Means for 2026

Ripley has been named among Australia’s top property hotspots, appearing in REA’s Hot 100 Suburbs.

With growing interest from families, first-home buyers and investors alike, the suburb is set for an exciting 2026 — a momentum reflected in the demand we’ve seen at Amory.

Why Ripley Is in the Spotlight

There are many reasons Ripley has such strong appeal with homebuyers. Its strategic location provides easy access to Ipswich and Brisbane, while planned infrastructure projects — from roads to schools and community facilities — are setting the stage for long-term growth.

  • Priority Development Area: The Queensland Government has announced the town of Ripley as a Priority Development Area, which means major investments in infrastructure, transport, and community amenities, creating a strong foundation for long-term growth.
  • Ripley Town Centre Expansion: Stage 2 of the Ripley Town Centre is underway, bringing more shopping, dining and lifestyle opportunities to residents and strengthening the area as a self-sufficient hub.
  • Enhanced Connectivity: Upgrades to Ripley Road and major arterial routes, plus ongoing public transport improvements, mean commuting to Ipswich or Brisbane is easier than ever.
  • Lifestyle and Community: From parks and walking trails to vibrant community spaces, Ripley offers the perfect balance of suburban tranquillity and modern convenience. Explore life at Amory.

Ipswich: A Regional Powerhouse

Ipswich itself continues to grow, benefiting from proximity to Brisbane while maintaining a unique charm and affordability. Ripley sits at the heart of this expansion, making it an ideal location for families, first-home buyers and investors looking to secure land in a high-demand area.

Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond

The momentum isn’t slowing. With ongoing infrastructure projects, new community amenities, and Ripley’s reputation as a suburb with room to grow, 2026 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for property in the area.
