Known as a peaceful leafy suburb, Brookfield offers a combination of city opportunity and a rural lifestyle. Acreage is commonplace in Brookfield with expansive views, yet the city with its wealth of work and education opportunities is a mere 20-minute drive away. With new shops and restaurants popping up in nearby precincts Indooroopilly and Kenmore, Brookfield only continues to thrive and grow.
Residents of Brookfield enjoy a short commute into a relaxed and comfortable suburb with ample open space and green views, making it a great place for families to grow and thrive.
The Legacy Way Tunnel has made commuting from Brookfield to the rest of Brisbane much more streamlined, almost eliminating congestion to make commutes even easier.
Although the dining options in Brookfield are more limited compared to the vibrant restaurant scene in nearby Brisbane City, the dining-rooms of Brookfield are rare gems.
For example, Wild Canary Botanical Bistro is a true farm to table experience, located amidst the lavish Brookfield Gardens’ retail shop. Diners delight in meals loaded with fresh produce and garnished with bright herbs, all supplied from local farmers within the region.
Another unique dining establishment within the area is the Brookfield General Store and Cafe. At this charming, restored 1800s school building, diners relax in the laid-back, country-style chairs and tables in an al fresco dining area. The General Store serves family favourites such as wood-fired ribs, burgers, and pizzas with generous toppings. Additionally, on their way out of the restaurant, diners can grab a loaf of bread or a jug of fresh milk from the convenience store.
The local community also comes alive with regular markets and the annual Brookfield show held at the show-grounds. The uniqueness of Brookfield’s acreage combined with its proximity to the CBD makes this an incredibly unique and treasured suburb. Once you become a local, we doubt you’ll want to leave anytime soon!
Those local to Brookfield can enjoy proximity to many opportunities for both casual and fine dining, specialty shopping and day to day needs such as groceries and medical centres.
With most residents being working professionals, a commute to the CBD is a popular choice with buses making the journey even simpler, offering less commute time, allowing residents to enjoy the finer things in life. In Brookfield, older couples, established families and professional couples can enjoy a suburb that is set up to meet their every need.
The Brookfield Markets, held on the first and third Saturday of every month, are a popular choice for locals and visitors alike who enjoy fresh country air as they scroll through the local artisan talent. With more than 40 stalls, the Brookfield Markets offer an opportunity to buy fresh produce, stock up on handmade gifts or explore the talent in and around Brookfield.
If bustling nightlife is more your thing, the CBD is a short taxi or bus drive away with its world-class arts and entertainment precincts. Although you may never want to leave your luxury home in Brookfield, there will be plenty of opportunities for excitement if you do.
If you are looking to buy a new home in a family-orientated community, then Brookfield is your perfect suburb. The neighbourhood sidewalks are swept with the warm chatter of children riding bicycles, delighted laughter, and neighbours exchanging friendly “hellos”. Brookfield is a wonderful suburb to raise children and to connect with other parents who care about the highest quality of safety and education for their kids.
Because Brookfield neighbourhoods are filled with school-aged children, a vast number of schools have opened their doors to the youth of Brookfield.
The Brookfield State School is a primary school for local children and it is ranked as one of the highest-performing schools in Queensland. The school offers many extra-curricular activities to its children and its educators care about engaging with the surrounding community.
For parents interested in other local school options, Brisbane Independent School offers a child-centred schooling model and Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary fosters the educational-needs of kids from prep to year 6.
High school students receive an excellent public education at nearby Kenmore State High School. Brookfield residents also have quick access to St. Aiden’s Anglican Girls School and St Peters Lutheran College. These neighbouring schools are easily accessible to Brookfield locals, thanks to the regular bus schedule which connects the community to many different schools.
Brookfield has everything you may need, right on your doorstep. With quick access to the abundance of shops and restaurants in Indooroopilly as well as the CBD, Brookfield has no shortage of opportunities for both work and education. Brookfield homes range from decent sized blocks (between 800sqm to 1500sqm), particularly in the Huntington, Brookfield Meadows and Kensington Estates established in the 1990’s to older, historical homes on large acreage.
The homes in Brookfield sell for a median price of $1,450,000 with a rental yield of $1,020 per week – making it a popular place to buy for both investors and those looking for their forever homes.
Brookfield homes are highly sought after with 1621 visits per property compared to the 758 of Queensland’s average. This high demand is likely due to the unique combination of opportunity and location, giving luxury homeowners the best of both city and country living. The price trend of Brookfield homes has been over a million dollars since 2015, with a jump to closer to $1.5m in 2020 as the market begins to heat up.
With a population just shy of 4000, the median age of Brookfield residents is between 45-50 years old, and many households belong to professional couples with children or older families.
Elderly families make up 12.8% with independent youth at a low 3.7%. Established couples and families share the top two percentages for Brookfield’s population.

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.
