A Growing Community with Room to Move
Offering more space, everyday convenience and a strong sense of community, Lowood is quickly becoming one of South East Queensland's most appealing places to call home.
A Location with Room to Grow
Located in the Somerset Region, Lowood offers a refreshing alternative to the increasingly crowded suburbs of South East Queensland. Just 30 minutes from Ipswich, the township combines everyday convenience with a more open and relaxed way of life, making it an appealing choice for first home buyers, families and those seeking more space.
Surrounded by natural beauty and open landscapes, Lowood encourages a lifestyle that’s connected to the outdoors. The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail passes through the heart of the township, providing opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring the region, while ongoing investment through Somerset Regional Council’s Lowood Futures Strategy is helping shape an even more vibrant and connected community for the future.
