Brisbane area guide

The West

The school hub - Indooroopilly, St Lucia, Kenmore, The Gap

The densest concentration of private schools in Brisbane. A leafy, river-bound corridor that prioritizes education and family space.

Lifestyle

River bends, rowing sheds, and the University of Queensland. Indooroopilly is the practical and retail hub.

Housing

Grand riverside homes in Chelmer and larger, modern family builds in Kenmore and The Gap.

Getting around

Fifteen to thirty minutes to the CBD by train or bus. Moggill Road is the primary western arterial.

Schools

St Peters, Ambrose Treacy, and St Aidan's form the backbone of this education-heavy corridor.
