An Introduction to Chermside
Located approximately 10km north of the Brisbane CBD, Chermside is one of Brisbane’s most established inner-north hubs, combining major retail, health and transport infrastructure with a broad mix of residential living.
Long regarded as the commercial heart of Brisbane’s north, Chermside has evolved beyond its retail roots into a high-amenity lifestyle suburb. Ongoing public and private investment, alongside its strategic position within Brisbane’s inner ring, continues to underpin demand from owner occupiers, tenants and investors alike.
With extensive experience buying across Brisbane’s northside, the team at Lauren Jones Buyers Agency has deep local insight into Chermside’s best streets, building profiles, zoning nuances and micro-markets.
Originally emerging as a service centre for surrounding suburbs in the early 20th century, this suburb's transformation accelerated following the development of major shopping, hospital and transport infrastructure, shaping the high density, well-connected suburb it is today.
