Nundah brisbane's original northern village, settled back in the 1850s - older than the city itself. The main drag, Nundah Village, has turned into a proper cafe-and-dining strip that punches well above its weight, all within 9km of the CBD and 12 minutes by train on the Airport line. With a walk score of 72 and the Kedron Brook bikeway running through it, this is one of those rare inner-city spots where you can genuinely ditch the car most days. The median age of 33 and strong 14.9% population growth say it all - young professionals and families are flooding in, pushing house prices 85% higher than five years ago.

Crime is 52% lower than QLD average (break-ins vs QLD) and violent crime is 40% lower than QLD average. Population of 10,737 (2021), growing +14.9%.
