⚡ Beverley's read
Boondall best known for the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, which pulls thousands of people for concerts and events ? but the suburb itself is a quiet, family-oriented pocket with more to offer than just the big venue. Fourteen kilometres north of the CBD with its own station on the Redcliffe Peninsula line, it's got the 7th Brigade Park lands providing serious green space and the Boondall Wetlands for nature lovers. The median house price around $920,000 and solid growth trajectory make it a steady performer without the drama.
