Only 15 kms from the Brisbane CBD, Runcorn is a popular suburb with young and established families.  Its family focus can be seen in the walk and bike ways available in a number of local parks and the local soccer and baseball fields.

Runcorn primary and high schools service the area's educational needs and Griffith University is in close proximity for those undertaking tertiary education.

Sunnybank Hills, Garden City and Sunnybank Shopping Centres house all major retailers and cinema complexes only a short car trip (five or ten minutes). 

Regular bus routes and two train stations (Runcorn and Fruitgrove) make the Brisbane CBD easily accessible.
