Windsor

Located approximately four kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, Windsor offers buyers a selection of housing styles, in a variety of price ranges. The popularity of the suburb is largely due to its proximity to the city, which has caused an increase in demand for homes in the area and, in turn, significant price growth. In keeping with the style of the suburb, many of its historic homes are being bought and renovated to their former glory. As with the neighbouring suburb of Wilston, Windsor is home to a number of professionals working in the health industry due to the proximity of the Royal Brisbane Hospital. Also attractive to buyers is Windsor’s access to excellent public transport. A trip into the city from Windsor train station will take residents less than 15 minutes. Regular bus routes offer similarly timed services for residents not in close proximity to the train station. Leisure parks such as Keith Beavis Oval and the Windsor Bowling Club, and walkways running alongside Enoggera Creek offer residents a break from the major traffic of Lutwyche Road, which divides the suburb in half. Downey Park and Ballymore are also nearby in Wilston. There are private and public schools in surrounding suburbs, which cater to primary and secondary students, with Windsor State School being the only school within the suburb’s boundaries. The local retail stores in the area are supplemented by larger retail chains in Lutwyche Shopping Centre and slightly further away in the Stafford City and Brookside Shopping Centres. Source: REIQ
