Question 1

Is Upper Brookfield a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Upper Brookfield is a semi-rural pocket in Brisbane’s outer west, set among rolling, tree-lined hills, dense bushland and creek gullies. The suburb has a country feel with acreage properties, horse paddocks and a mix of older timber cottages and contemporary rural homes set well back from quiet, winding roads. People who move here are often after space, privacy and an outdoor lifestyle, with gardening, small-scale hobby farming and bushwalking close to native bush.

With 857 residents and a median age of 43, the community is dominated by couple families—52.1% with children and 38.3% without—and most homes are owner-occupied (40.1% owned outright and 51.3% with a mortgage). There are few commercial centres within the suburb, so day-to-day shopping and services are found in nearby Brookfield and other centres. A personalised public transport loop links the school, an aged-care facility and Kenmore Village, the council has scheduled local road works affecting the area with Haven Road named for upgrades, and temporary aircraft noise monitors have been installed on Carbine Road as part of flight-path noise monitoring and community engagement. Whether Upper Brookfield suits you depends on how much you value space and a rural feel inside the city boundary.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Upper Brookfield?

Accepted Answer

Upper Brookfield hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Only the suburb's median household income from the most recent Census is available, so there isn't enough information to say how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Upper Brookfield a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales in Upper Brookfield to publish reliable figures for how house and unit values and rents moved over the past 12 months. Without that information, it's not possible to provide a clear picture of how the suburb performed as an investment during that period.
