Rangeville: Development Potential

Rangeville sits 130km west of Brisbane, on the Toowoomba Range escarpment. Rangeville is Toowoomba's premier residential suburb, perched on the Range escarpment with dramatic eastward views. The suburb's prestigious school catchments, heritage streetscapes, and scenic position make it the most desirable address in the region. Development is boutique-scale, targeting premium townhouse and apartment buyers seeking views and lifestyle.

If you own property in Rangeville, there's a good chance it could be worth significantly more as a development site than as a residential home.
