Located in the Moreton Bay region to the north, Brendale is a unique mix of a major industrial precinct and a growing residential pocket. For investors, the appeal lies in the proximity to a massive local job base, which keeps rental demand high. The data shows an incredible five-year growth trajectory of over +136 per cent, yet at a $650,000 median, it remains the most affordable "mainland" house market in the metro area. It’s a blue-collar stronghold that is increasingly attracting young families priced out of the inner north.

The suburb has recorded some of the highest capital gains in the state over the last five years, more than doubling in value since 2021.

Eagleby sits in a strategic pocket where the Logan and Albert Rivers meet, essentially acting as the halfway point between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It’s long been a favourite for investors due to its historically low entry prices, but an 18.60 per cent jump in the last year shows the secret is well and truly out. The vibe is increasingly family-oriented as infrastructure improvements in the nearby Beenleigh hub spill over, making it an ideal "set and forget" location for those chasing a yield above 4 per cent.

Beenleigh is the satellite city of the south, functioning as a major transit and service hub. For investors, the long-term play here is the ongoing gentrification and government investment in the town centre. It offers a more established town feel compared to the surrounding newer estates, with a mix of older character homes and modern subdivisions. With 124 per cent growth over five years, it has proven itself as a resilient market that benefits heavily from the "commuter belt" demand.

Kingston offers a classic working-class demographic with large blocks and strong proximity to the Logan Motorway. Like its neighbour Logan Central, it has seen explosive five-year growth (146.90 per cent) as the Brisbane sprawl makes these once-fringe suburbs feel much more central. Investors are often drawn to Kingston for its subdivision potential (subject to council approval) and the consistent 4 per cent yield, which is becoming harder to find as prices across the city rise.
