yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.auHow these suburbs were chosen
A mix across three categories. Development: suburbs inside declared state Priority Development Areas or major master-planned communities (Yarrabilba, Ripley, Flagstone), plus inner-city renewal and apartment-pipeline precincts linked to the 2032 Olympics (Woolloongabba, Newstead). Growth: suburbs in the top Greater Brisbane SA3 regions for annual value growth in Cotality's September 2026 HVI (Beenleigh, Sherwood). Lifestyle: established family, bayside or inner-riverside favourites with deep sales volume (Sandgate, Springfield Lakes, New Farm). Suburb medians all come from one source (Your Investment Property suburb profiles, trailing 12 months as of 26 Sep 2026) so they can be compared.
