Brisbane Suburbs Guide: Finding the Right Neighbourhood

Brisbane's neighbourhoods each have a distinct character. The inner north includes Fortitude Valley (nightlife, dining), New Farm (riverside, upmarket) and Newstead (apartment living, dining precinct). The inner south covers West End (bohemian, multicultural), South Brisbane (near South Bank) and Woolloongabba (transport, the Gabba). To the west, Paddington and Milton offer hills, heritage homes and boutique shopping. Family-oriented outer suburbs include Carindale in the east, Chermside in the north and Sunnybank in the south, with its well-known Asian food precinct. Proximity to the train network is worth factoring in for any suburb.
