Anstead is a small yet sprawling suburb located within Brisbane’s Western suburbs around 21 km from Brisbane’s CBD. With a lower price tag than neighbouring acreage with the same lifestyle benefits, Anstead boasts a rural residential feel, reflecting its cattle farming roots, with sprawling homes on acreage featuring flairs of modern appeal. Anstead is known as clean and green, safe, good for internet access, positive for easy traffic flow and full of friendly neighbours.
Within easy driving distance to all the city has to offer, Anstead is a popular choice for many demographics from families with kids to retirees. There is little concern for how one would get from point A to point B, no matter where they wish to go, with highly accessible bus stops in common areas such as Moggill Road, Pinjarra Road and Mt Crosby Road to name a few. Additionally, there are ample bike tracks for either convenience or mountain biking for those who prefer combining their exercise with transport. Cafes and shopping options abound at the nearby New Moggill Shopping Centre, Kenmore Village, The Pullenvale Marketplace or the Plaza on the way home from the city.
Running a household and maintaining a busy life is simple for families with local small businesses for every need from dog grooming to pest control and household maintenance. Families can spend their weekends enjoying a Café breakfast at one of the many local options or at the bushland reserves and parks, which include horse riding, bushwalking, play areas and public barbeques to make the most of Brisbane’s sunny weather.
Anstead is a perfect home base for busy professionals, working families and retirees, with perfect walking and biking tracks, the famous Anstead Bushland Reserve or other local parks for weekend relaxation plus public transport opportunities galore. With the city in proximity, residents are never short for entertainment day or night, and can easily catch a bus home which will likely stop close to their home. Whether the entertainment of choice is to watch a play at QPAC, a sporting match at Suncorp, or take a dip at Southbank, the spoils of the city are easy to enjoy without the hustle and bustle being too close by.

We had plenty of questions for Grant. His patience, attention to detail, his honesty and integrity all contributed to the success of the sale of our house. Grant provided daily updates on enquiries on the property, and weekly written updates on comments from the open houses. Grant ensured we understood every step of the open negotiation process so that we went into the final bidding stage fully informed.
The level of service is phenomenal. Nothing was too much trouble and they helped make what was a stressful time more easeful. They worked super hard to ensure that we got the very best price possible. They have the highest level of service I have seen for a very long time and it was like a breathe of fresh air. I cannot recommend this team highly enough!
Christina & Grant are totally professional. This is the second sale they have handled for us. Nothing is left to chance. They supplied quality trades who prepped the houses for sale. We followed their recommendations and advice with results well in excess of our expectations.
Grant & Christina put quality over quantity when it came to helping my family to sell our home. They knew exactly what to do and gave us excellent guidance along the way. We could not have been happier working with Grant & Christina! They are professionals in every aspect of the real estate business. Would definitely use their service again.
Grant is an honest, helpful and reliable agent. Although we knew he was extremely busy, he always made us feel like we were his only clients responding promptly to all of our questions.
Grant has sold 3 properties for me over the years and that speaks for itself. I wouldn’t have gone back twice let alone three times if I felt he could not perform. I highly recommend Grant to anyone who is intending to sell because he will give you 100%.
Christina is a lovely person and her knowledge and advice prior to our listing was invaluable. We had one open house which resulted in three offers, one of which was accepted. We were extremely happy with Christina's advice and professionalism and we were very happy with the result she achieved for us.
We have bought and sold numerous houses and units through Grant and Christina Penrose.
I would have to say that they are not only the most professional and passionate people in their industry that I've come across, but I think their customer service, attention to detail and results would stand up in any service industry anywhere in the country.
Let us also thank you for the fine work that you put into ensuring that our house was sold within my budget range and in a timely manner. Your efforts were most appreciated.
My experience dealing with Grant Penrose from Remax was exceptional. He sold my property in Boundary rd very quickly and kept me up to date and informed throughout the entire process. I would gladly recommend his service to anyone who requires a professional agent.
We highly recommend Grant, he has always gone above and beyond for us even in the most difficult of situations and has always well exceeded our expectations.
From the very outset I found the service provided by Christina and Grant to be totally professional, friendly and positive, always punctual, always cheerful and always ready to go the extra mile. Doing business with Christina and Grant was a pleasure!
The average median house price in Brisbane is $973,534 as of September 2024. Inner-city and riverside suburbs tend to have higher prices, while outer suburbs offer more affordable options. The Brisbane property market has seen steady growth in the last 10 years as the city and its suburbs become a more desirable place to live.
As of 2024, the best suburbs to invest in Brisbane are Ascot, Paddington, and Ashgrove. Ascot is close to the CBD and the airport, with plenty of leafy parklands and facilities. Paddington has all your social and entertainment needs covered with restaurants and cafes close to the CBD, South Bank, and Suncorp Stadium. Ashgrove is a gorgeous suburb only 4 kilometres away from Brisbane CBD. A popular area for families and couples, there's plenty of demand from buyers and renters.
Some of the best Brisbane suburbs for access to public transport and the new Brisbane Metro are Herston and Kelvin Grove. Herston is close to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, which is a key stop on the metro route. The Brisbane metro provides quick access to the CBD and surrounding areas for residents of Herston, especially healthcare professionals and students.
Kelvin Grove is also located near key stops on the Brisbane Metro network. This suburb is already well-connected since it's close to the busway, and the metro improves this further. With faster travel times and more frequent services, residents of Kelvin Grove, especially students and staff at the nearby Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Kelvin Grove campus, will find commuting to the CBD and other major hubs much easier.
These times can vary depending on traffic conditions, but they give a general idea of the distance each suburb is from Brisbane's CBD.
Teneriffe, Chandler, and New Farm are some of Brisbane's most expensive suburbs.
