BRISBANE’S suburbs may be bound by the city to which they belong, but all have their own unique personality.

While some are best known for their transition over time, others have stellar schools and buzzing shopping precincts that bring new residents and visitors to the area.

Take a look below to find out more about Brisbane’s many suburbs and what makes them tick.

ASHGROVE: A political tussle between Campbell Newman and Kate Jones threw residents of this inner-west suburb into the spotlight. Almost two years on, things have returned to normal.

KEDRON: It’s gone from being one of Brisbane’s sleepiest suburbs to one of the most sought after.

NEW FARM:Some of Brisbane’s poorest and most affluent people live in harmony in this riverside area.

ALBION:It’s only been in the past year or two that the winds of change have swept through this traditionally industrial area, which is located just a few kilometres from the CBD.

 

SPRING HILL: Some of Brisbane’s most affordable real estate can still be found in this suburb located right next to the CBD.

SECRET HISTORY OF BRISBANE’S SUBURBS FROM A TO Z

ANNERLEY:Immigrants have flocked to the area, creating one of Brisbane’s most multicultural suburbs. It’s also home to an award-winning Leprechaun.

 

SANDGATE:Hipsters and young families have moved in, bringing a new cafe and bar culture to Brisbane’s northside.

 

WOOLLOONGABBA: To many people the area is simply home to The Gabba. But over the next 10 years the population of this inner-city gem is set to double.

ST LUCIA:Families from all over Brisbane move here just so their children can attend its public primary school.

PADDINGTON:The young professionals and families may have moved in, but this favourite city area has managed to preserve its bohemian past.

INALA: It may be about to feature in a new season of SBS’ Struggle Street, but its residents want people to know it has a lot more to offer.

WEST END:It may not have the beach, but within this suburb lies Brisbane’s answer to Byron Bay.

BOWEN HILLS:This Brisbane suburb has a spike in numbers every August, but its agricultural and artistic offerings are present year-round.

 

MANLY: This is the perfect place for people looking for a sea change, while maintaining their city lifestyle.

TENNYSON:It was once Brisbane’s smallest residential suburbs, now it attracts international stars.

TOOWONG: This low-lying area continues to thrive despite the floods of 2011.

BULIMBA: There is only one way in and one way out. It’s just the way the locals like it.

MCDOWALL:Its streets are home to some of Hollywood’s most loved stars, including everyone from Walt Disney to Marlon Brando.

 

EAST BRISBANE:It’s one of the few inner-city areas where houses still outnumber apartments.

TENERIFFE:It’s hard to believe this was once one of Brisbane’s most derelict suburbs.

 

HAMILTON: Food trucks and apartments are breathing new life into this old-world area.

WINDSOR: Surrounded by old Queenslanders lies Brisbane’s smallest house, with a block of land measuring just 73.3sq m.

KANGAROO POINT:Brisbane residents looking for a bit of adventure on their weekends need look no further than the suburb at the end of the Story Bridge.

 

FIG TREE POCKET:What it lacks in supermarkets this hidden area of Brisbane makes up for in wildlife.

 

ZILLMERE: For years it was the ugly duckling of Brisbane’s north, now it’s undergoing a transformation, with one local even predicting it will be the next boom suburb behind Nundah.

STAFFORD: It’s long-struggled to shake off its humble heritage, but now Stafford property prices are finally starting to catch up to those fetched in affluent neighbouring suburbs.

LUTWYCHE: This pocket-sized suburb on Brisbane’s northside once strongly influenced by Italian immigrants has become an investor’s paradise because of the emergence of numerous multi-level apartment blocks.

JINDALEE: Savvy Sydney investors are taking advantage of flood-shy Brisbane property buyers by snapping-up homes at relatively bargain prices in Jindalee.

SALISBURY: It remains one of Brisbane’s go-to suburbs for new home buyers. But things look set to change, as prices keep rising.

PINKENBA: A ‘village’ within 12km of Brisbane’s CBD and about 10 minutes from Brisbane Airport is the land that time forgot.

REDCLIFFE: The tourist hotspot that loves having visitors, but what they really need is for people to stay long-term.

CORINDA: It’s a suburb where houses, on average, only change hands every quarter of a century and where shopkeepers are still on a first-name basis with their customers.

BOONDALL: It’s blessed with two train stations, motorway access, a prestigious private school and a massive multi-purpose park, so why aren’t the locals interested?

CHAPEL HILL: With plenty of over-sized blocks available in this western suburb, real estate agents say there’s room for dozens, if not hundreds of new homes.

MITCHELTON: Residents of this historic suburb are pushing against council plans to build 10-storey apartment blocks to satisfy a demand for housing.

SHAILER PARK: Where you can buy a quarter acre block and still be living in the shadow of one of southeast Queensland’s biggest shopping centres.
