Aspley 4034
Northern suburb — 13.4km from Brisbane CBD · Brisbane City Council (Bracken Ridge / Marchant / McDowall Wards) · 6.5 km² · Walk Score 45/100
⚡ Beverley's read
Aspley 13km north of the CBD, firmly in that sweet spot where you get proper suburban living without losing touch with the city. It's anchored by the Aspley Hypermarket and a serious cluster of schools ? five within the suburb alone ? making it a magnet for families who want choices without driving kids across town every morning. The median age of 40 tells you it's an established crowd, but with 12% annual growth and Westfield Chermside five minutes south, there's still plenty of energy here.
