Welcome to Stafford

Stafford is one of Brisbane’s hidden gems. Located 8 kilometres North of the city centre, Stafford offers its locals a highly coveted leisurely lifestyle while still remaining close enough to the CBD to be a part of the action. It’s a large, leafy suburb with lots of local parks and breathtaking views. Sections in Stafford are generously sized and local architecture includes a blend of pre-war Queenslanders, post-war contemporary properties, and modern units.

Stafford has a balance of apartment blocks and large land sizes, making it a versatile place to live. Local council has allowed high-density apartments in areas surrounding shopping centres, but the rest of the area enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle with spacious allotments.

A significant portion of properties in Stafford are owner-occupied because house prices in Stafford are affordable even for first-time market entrants.

Stafford is desired by those who want to be close to the Brisbane International and Domestic Airports and the city without compromising on comfort and land-size. With a number of good schools, easy access to leading health-care facilities, and a recent rise in trendy dining destinations, Stafford represents exceptional value for money.
