Property Types in Brisbane

From charming Queenslanders and heritage-listed treasures, to luxury living and exclusive off-market finds - LJBA is your expert on Brisbane's property types!

Brisbane Living by Property Types

No matter your lifestyle, Brisbane’s diverse and inclusive range of property types caters to everyone.

For starters, there are endless options for those who seek affordability without compromising on connection. Meanwhile, luxury chasers can embrace high-end and waterfront living.

Those craving space may find their dream home in the heart of family friendly suburbia. On the other hand, Brisbane’s vibrant inner-city pockets draw in those who thrive on worldclass culture.

With our LJBA Headquarters in Wavell Heights (previously located in Stafford), we totally get the appeal of Brisbane’s
northern suburbs. Regardless of which side of the river you find harbour, Brisbane’s lifestyle is always within reach.

Brisbane Houses

From heritage Queenslanders to modern builds, this property type caters to a variety of lifestyles- whether you need space to grow, a city-fringe sanctuary, or a seaside retreat.

For families, leafy suburbs like Ashgrove, Bardon, and The Gap provide spacious homes with generous yards near parks and top schools.

Those chasing an inner-city lifestyle can find charming workers' cottages and renovated character homes in Paddington, Red Hill, and Highgate Hill.

If living amongst nature is a priority, houses in Chapel Hill and Kenmore embrace their surroundings with elevated decks, large windows, and open plan living.

Meanwhile, coastal pockets like Wynnum and Manly feature expansive, low maintenance homes that are designed to capture bay views and ocean breezes.

Brisbane Units and Apartments

These Brisbane property types offer a lifestyle of convenience, modern amenities, and proximity to key local attractions.

For professionals and city lovers, sleek high-rise apartments in the CBD, South Bank, and Fortitude Valley provide stylish interiors, skyline views, and access to rooftop pools, gyms, and entertainment precincts.

Meanwhile, boutique apartment complexes in West End and Newstead blend modern design with a community feel, offering spacious balconies and easy access to riverside dining and nightlife.

Those seeking affordability and practicality will find that suburbs like Chermside and Mount Gravatt offer well-designed, open plan apartments in the heart of Brisbane’s action.

For downsizers and retirees, apartments in Ascot and Bulimba offer luxury finishes, lift access, and proximity to local attractions.

Brisbane Townhouses and Duplexes

Brisbane’s townhouses offer the perfect balance between space, convenience, and low maintenance living. Designed to blend privacy with practicality, they provide modern comforts while keeping homeowners connected to key lifestyle hubs.

Contemporary townhouses in Teneriffe, Newmarket, and Camp Hill offer a stylish yet functional alternative to standalone houses. We think these are perfect for young families and first-time buyers.

Meanwhile, townhouses in Carina and Morningside appeal most to buyers wanting sense of community without the upkeep of a larger home.

In outer suburbs like Everton Park and Eight Mile Plains, townhouses deliver affordability and generous layouts, with proximity to local amenities.

As well, the boutique townhouse developments in Bulimba and Ascot are ideal for downsizers seeking a relaxed yet refined lifestyle.

Brisbane Character and Heritage Homes

Brisbane’s character and heritage homes are timeless reflections of our city’s architectural and cultural roots.

Often characterised by high ceilings, intricate timber details, and expansive verandas, these property types provide a sense of elegance and nostalgia. They are most often found in suburbs like New Farm, Paddington, and Red Hill.

Heritage homes typically feature large rooms with plenty of natural light. Not to mention stunning craftsmanship, like tongue-and-groove timber boards and intricate fretwork panels.  

Suburbs like Ashgrove, Wooloowin, and Albion offer character homes with ample room for families, and a blend of traditional features with modern comforts.

Brisbane Investment Opportunities

Brisbane stands out as a prime investment destination. The city appeals to a multitude of lifestyles and buyer demands, largely because of its dynamic property market and selection of property types.

From high yield inner-city apartments to spacious suburban houses and low maintenance townhouses, investors can align their strategy with strong rental demand and long-term growth potential.

The city’s expanding infrastructure, population growth, and evolving lifestyle hubs continue to drive property value. This ensures ongoing interest for both tenants and buyers.

Understanding how different Brisbane property types complement various lifestyles is key to making a smart and future-proof investment in this thriving city.
