Question 1

Is Windsor a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Windsor is a leafy inner-north Brisbane suburb where early 20th century charm meets pockets of modern infill. Streets show timber Queenslanders and weatherboard cottages among established trees alongside townhouses and low-rise units. A compact village-style shopping strip with cafés, bakeries and everyday services sits near several parks and recreation spaces, and frequent public transport and major roads link the suburb to the inner city and neighbouring areas, giving a residential, community-minded feel with city amenities within easy reach.

Home to 7,811 people with a median age of 32, Windsor leans younger. Couple families (with and without children) represent just over eight in ten families, and renting is the most common tenure at 55.9%. Active-transport infrastructure includes the North Brisbane Bikeway, and the suburb is part of council’s Kedron Brook revitalisation work, which sets a draft long-term vision for better connections, more accessible open spaces, flood resilience and improved habitat. Whether Windsor suits you will come down to the mix of character, local shops and transport connections you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Windsor?

Accepted Answer

On these figures, buying in Windsor sits notably higher than what a typical local household earned at the last Census. The median house price of $1,656,000 is about 14.4 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly income $2,213 × 52 = $115,076), while the median unit price of $813,500 is about 7.1 times that annual income. Both are well above local incomes, with the house multiple especially high.

Renting looks relatively less stretched than buying but still significant. A house rent of $800 a week would take about 36.2% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while a unit rent of $660 a week would take about 29.8%, a moderate share. So in Windsor, renting a house would use a larger slice of local incomes than renting a unit, and buying sits considerably further above what people locally earned at the last Census.

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 Windsor a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Unit values in Windsor climbed 18.6% over the past 12 months, a strong rise, and unit rents increased 10.0% over the same period, also a strong gain. House values rose a solid 9.3% and house rents increased a solid 6.7%.

Put simply, units have been the stronger performer this year for both capital growth (value) and rental income (rent), while houses recorded decent gains but at lower rates. Which suits you depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income and on your own circumstances.
