Furnished Townhousesin South Townsville.

“South Townsville turned the port into a postcard.”

South Townsville sits across Ross Creek from Townsville CBD, and is the city's port and industrial precinct turned post-2010 lifestyle suburb. The defining axis is the Townsville Marina (one of Queensland's largest), the Breakwater Cove residential precinct, and the long Strand-style Esplanade running along Ross Creek and the marina. The Queensland Country Bank Stadium (home of the North Queensland Cowboys NRL team) sits at the suburb's western edge. Renter demographics are mixed: defence-force personnel from Lavarack Barracks (10 min west), professionals working at the marina and the port, James Cook University students, healthcare staff at Townsville University Hospital, and a substantial cohort of corporate transferees drawn by the new apartment stock. Housing stock is dominated by post-2000 mid-rise apartment buildings around the Marina and Breakwater Cove, with smaller 1970s–1990s walk-up units along Ogden Street and the Esplanade, and a smaller stock of freestanding heritage houses through the older streets. Walk Score in the Marina precinct is high. Buses connect to Townsville CBD in 5 minutes (across the Victoria Bridge). Townsville Airport is 10 minutes north. Civic anchors include the Queensland Country Bank Stadium, the Townsville Marina, the seasonal Strand-Marina markets, and the Magnetic Island ferry terminal at the Breakwater. Typical furnished tenants are defence-force personnel and contractors, JCU students preferring marina-side living, corporate transferees, and healthcare staff at the Hospital. Adjacent precincts include North Ward (across the river, more leafy), the CBD (immediately west) and Hyde Park (south, more residential). The Magnetic Island ferry runs every 30 minutes from the Breakwater terminal — a 25-minute crossing each way to Nelly Bay.
