Wilston QLD 4051

Wilston is a property investors dream suburb with strong capital growth year on year. The rental yields are reasonably tight due to the high property prices and strong demand from owner occupiers. It is however so well connected to the city and surrounds, has beautiful homes and is known as one of the “café culture” suburbs of Brisbane.

Wilston is connected to the city and surrounding suburbs by both train and bus services. It also has excellent access via the road and tunnel network allowing a drive into the city within 10 minutes in peak hour.

Wilston doesn’t have a shopping centre however neighbouring suburb Newmarket has a shopping centre with multiple supermarkets.

This is what Wilston is well known for. “The Strip” which is on Kedron Brook Rd is home to a number of boutique cafes and restaurants that if you visit on a weekend, you’ll do well to find a park. Places like Fritzenberger for a good burger on a weeknight, Sichuan Bang Bang for an excellent feed or plenty of other options, make this area very popular with locals and people from neighbouring suburbs.

Wilston State School is the primary school catchment however for high school this is split between Kelvin Grove State High School and Kedron State high. The property prices tend to be more buoyant in the Kelvin Grove State High Catchment zone.

Bike rides down to Finsbury park and kicking a ball on the ovals is a popular past time for locals but the primary recreation for Wilston residents is relaxing at the café precinct. There are plenty of other options including movies at Newmarket, watching a game at Ballymore Stadium or a walk up to the Eildon Hill Reservoir.
