Brisbane’s Western Suburbs

Brisbane’s western suburbs have traditionally been popular to home buyers seeking quality schools and easy access to the CBD. The western suburbs range from Paddington through to the prestige acreage areas of Pullenvale and Brookfield. Brisbane’s western suburbs have a large amount of green space, parkland and numerous golf courses making it a great blend of convenience and lifestyle. With a large portion of suburbs bordering the Brisbane River including the prestige Indooroopilly, St Lucia and Chelmer precincts, it is not hard to see why people want to live here.

The region is primarily accessed via car or bus however the train lines run from the CBD to Indooroopilly then along the Chelmer to Oxley corridor. Once you head beyond Indooroopilly through to Chapel Hill and beyond, bus and car are the only forms of transport. The western suburbs have plenty of bike-paths to allow commuters to avoid being on the main roads. In summary Brisbane’s western suburbs are a family dominated area providing an opportunity for professionals and those seeking a great outdoor lifestyle.

Brisbane’s western suburbs are heavily dominated by housing rather than units. A few suburbs like Toowong, St Lucia (around University of Queensland) and Indooroopilly have quite a number of units and townhouses however the remaining suburbs are predominantly housing. Areas like Chelmer/Graceville/Paddington/Auchenflower have traditional character and Queenslander housing, whereas the remainder of the western suburbs are mainly semi modern and modern brick homes.

The western suburbs of Brisbane offer an outstanding selection of schools ranging from public, private, Christian or Catholic alongside independent primary and secondary schools.
