Graceville is a liveable, riverside suburb in Brisbane’s west, but the river isn’t the only draw for those moving to the area.
While Graceville has plenty of history in its street names, the Graceville Uniting Church built by Walter Taylor (yes, the gentleman who built the bridge between Indooroopilly and Chelmer) and the Regal Twin Picture Theatre, it also has plenty of charm and facilities.
Graceville’s green spaces make it a popular spot for families, with families making up 78% of all households. Not only does Graceville have plenty of parks, it also has netball courts, sporting fields and even a community garden, where locals can participate and grow their own food.
Similarly, the schools in Graceville and nearby Sherwood and Corinda are also drawcards for families moving to the area. Graceville State School is an extremely popular public school in the area, but the abundance of local public and private schools in surrounding suburbs is likely also a draw for those who want to live in this beautiful suburb but work or study elsewhere.
The public transport is also a reason, as locals can easily connect to services and schools. Graceville is a popular suburb for commuters who work in the CBD which is only seven kilometres away.
With a median age of 36 and 41% of residents classified as professionals, it makes sense that they would choose to call Graceville home as this suburb has a train station situated directly across from cafes and services on Honour Avenue, and also regular bus connecting Graceville to the rest of Brisbane.
The Graceville train station underwent an accessibility upgrade in 2017 to ensure all commuters are able to use the train station train stations and bus networks.
With so many incredible facilities, it makes sense why Brisbanites are buying in Graceville and staying to raise kids, and often even grandkids. This suburb truly has it all!
