Suburb Profiles

Location: 5 km from CBD Due to its close proximity to Brisbane’s CBD, and its position alongside the Brisbane River, Fairfield has experienced very strong growth in property prices in the last five years. As one of Brisbane’s river suburbs, Fairfield is ideally situated and likely to attract buyers who want to secure attractive property close to the water. It is an area that is popular with families and professionals working in the CBD. Fairfield has easy access to major arterial roads, schools, shops and other infrastructure so necessary for family and professional living. Fairfield is well located with close proximity to many public and private amenities. The closest hospital is the Princess Alexandra Hospital (approximately five minutes). The neighbouring suburb of Yeronga has two primary schools and one high school. It is also close to the University of Queensland across the river at St Lucia and there is a ferry and CityCat service from nearby Dutton Park. Major shopping is at Fairfield Garden Shopping Centre supplementing the on-road retail outlets. Being near West End gives the suburb a convenient and close by restaurant area. There are plenty of parklands such as Downs Oval and Goodwin, Leyshon, Robertson and Fehlberg Parks, bikeways, and access to the river at the Fairfield rowing club at the Brisbane Corso Reserve. A train station is located in the suburb and plenty of bus routes heading to the university and the City are available to residents. Source: REIQ
