Once overshadowed by major infrastructure works, Kedron has quietly transformed into one of Brisbane’s most promising blue-chip suburbs.

Now listed alongside Wavell Heights, Morningside, Holland Park, and Mitchelton as a suburb on the rise, Kedron is drawing buyers who want lifestyle and convenience without the multi-million-dollar price tags of Ascot or Hamilton.
The suburb endured years of disruption during the construction of the Airport Link tunnel and road upgrades along Gympie Road. Dust, noise, and heavy traffic flows made the area less appealing to some. But locals say Kedron bounced back strongly once the works were completed, and today, the tunnel is considered a major asset, giving residents fast and direct access across the city.
Undervalued but rising fast
According to recent analysis by SuburbData, Kedron ranks among Brisbane’s most undervalued suburbs, with prices significantly lower than its neighbouring prestige postcodes. Researchers note that suburbs in this category are well-positioned for capital growth as buyers increasingly recognise their value and lifestyle appeal.
The median house price in Kedron is currently $1.3 million, highlighting its growing status as a desirable northside suburb. While still more affordable than established blue-chip areas like Ascot and Hamilton, it offers a compelling balance of accessibility, liveability and long-term investment potential.
Homeowners describe the area as a place that has struck the right balance between convenience and community. Families are drawn to its schools and open spaces, while professionals value the quick commute and the abundance of local services. The variety of housing – from traditional post-war homes to modern rebuilds – has also attracted renovators and those keen to customise their “forever homes.”
Kedron’s location continues to drive its appeal. Just six kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, it sits at the heart of the city’s northside growth corridor. Despite its central position, prices remain more affordable than neighbouring prestige suburbs, making it an attractive option for buyers who want long-term value and lifestyle.

With its improved transport links, thriving community spirit and increasing buyer demand, Kedron is no longer simply a suburb to drive through on the way to somewhere else. Backed by the latest SuburbData findings, it has established itself as a destination in its own right – and one that is fast becoming one of Brisbane’s most sought-after addresses.
