Brisbane area guide
Inner West
Hilly character - Paddington, Ashgrove, Bardon, Toowong
The hilly heart of Brisbane's character belt. Steep streets, lush greenery, and a very short run to the CBD.
Lifestyle
Walkable cafe strips in Paddington and Rosalie, boutique shopping, and a vibrant community feel.
Housing
Highly sought-after Queenslanders on elevated blocks, often with city or mountain views.
Getting around
Five to fifteen minutes to the CBD. Bus routes are excellent, though the terrain makes cycling a challenge.
Schools
Marist College Ashgrove, Mt St Michael's, and immediate proximity to Brisbane Boys' College in Toowong.
Street parking can be difficult due to narrow, hilly roads.
