📍 Just 5km northwest of Brisbane’s CBD, Ashgrove continues to capture the hearts of families, professionals, and long-term investors alike. But this leafy, character-rich suburb isn’t just known for its Ashgrovian homes and excellent schools—it’s also quietly becoming one of Brisbane’s top-performing property markets.
At OwnerDeveloper, we work with clients who want more than just bricks and mortar—they want strategic growth, community connection, and long-term value. And Ashgrove delivers on all three.
🏘️ Suburb Snapshot: Why Ashgrove Stands Out in 2025
Median house price: $1,880,000 (↑ 12.9% YoY)
Unit median: $800,000 (↑ 14.9% YoY)
Rental yield: 2.8% for houses | 4.0% for units
Median days on market: 37 for houses | 24 for units
71.5% owner-occupier rate – highlighting long-term confidence in the suburb
With over 30 parks, a strong school catchment, and an enduring reputation for quiet, tree-lined streets, Ashgrove is a textbook example of stable, high-demand urban living.
🏡 What Makes Ashgrove So Desirable?
💫 Historical charm with modern convenience: Character homes, wide streets, Queenslander architecture—and yet, just minutes to the CBD. It’s rare to find this mix.
🎓 Educational excellence: Ashgrove is home to top-tier schools like Mt St Michael’s, Marist College, Oakleigh State School, and Ashgrove State School—making it a magnet for young families.
🏞️ Lifestyle & location: Think cafes, bikeways, sport clubs, the Enchanted Forest Playground in Dorrington Park, and direct CBD transport. Residents consistently praise its community feel and safe, green vibe.
💰 Strong capital growth: Double-digit annual price growth for both houses and units reflects rising demand, limited supply, and the suburb’s premium reputation.
💡 From an Investor’s Lens: Where the Opportunity Lies
While Ashgrove's high entry price may seem like a barrier, we see it differently: it’s a signal of confidence, scarcity, and resilience.
For developers, knockdown-rebuild projects, premium duplexes, or even joint ventures on large corner lots in Ashgrove offer attractive returns—especially with OwnerDeveloper's guidance on feasibility, planning approvals, and turnkey management.
📈 And with the Housing Diversity Code reshaping possibilities across NSW, it's worth exploring what’s possible even in tightly held area.
💬 What Locals Say
