How has the Redcliffe Peninsula rail line affected property prices?

Since the Redcliffe rail line opened in 2016, suburbs within 1km of stations have seen 35-50% price growth -- outpacing non-rail bayside suburbs by 15%. The 30-minute CBD commute turned Redcliffe from a retirement area into a commuter suburb.

Should I invest in Sandgate (north bay) or Wynnum (east bay)?

Sandgate ($680k median) offers heritage charm and train access. Wynnum ($720k) has stronger gentrification momentum. For yield, Sandgate wins (4.5% vs 4.1%). For growth, Wynnum's momentum and younger demographic suggest stronger 5-year prospects.

Are bayside Brisbane properties at risk of flooding or storm surge?

Moreton Bay's protected waters mean minimal storm surge risk. Some low-lying streets in Sandgate have minor tidal flooding risk. Check the Brisbane City Council FloodWise mapping tool -- properties above the Q100 flood line are insurable at standard rates.
