Hunter Gather has bought 3 properties in Ashgrove for clients. Of the purchases where the property type is on record, that is 1 house. Ashgrove sits inside our Brisbane buying area, which our agents cover street by street rather than from a desk.

Every Ashgrove buyer asked for the price to stay private, so the cards below show the property without the figure.

Where Ashgrove sits

Ashgrove is five kilometres north-west of the CBD and feels further, which is most of the point. Two creeks draw its edges: Enoggera Creek wraps the north and folds around St Johns Wood, Ithaca Creek runs along the southern side to meet it at Red Hill. In between is a run of ridges and gullies, old trees and the 1920s and 30s Queenslanders the suburb gave its name to. Waterworks Road carries everything in and out.

Boundaries
Enoggera Creek to the north and around St Johns Wood, Ithaca Creek along the south toward Red Hill. The Gap sits to the west, Bardon and Red Hill to the south and south-east, Newmarket, Alderley and Enoggera across the creek to the north-east and north.
The roads
Waterworks Road (the spine, State Route 31, Red Hill to The Gap, with a T2 lane 7am to 9am on weekdays). Stewart Road and Ashgrove Avenue (the shops, the Coles and Woolworths, the CityGlider terminus). Jubilee Terrace (the cut-through to Bardon and Paddington)

The pockets

The suburb street by street: who each pocket suits and what to check there.

The numbers on the map above mark each pocket.

1The Avenues

Ashgrove Avenue, Glenlyon Drive, Elimatta Drive, Dorset and Devonshire Streets, bounded by Waterworks Road, Stewart Road and Enoggera Creek

The Glenlyon Estate subdivision of the 1920s, with the heritage-listed avenue of trees on Glenlyon Drive, the 1876 villa Glen Lyon and a run of the best Ashgrovians on the biggest blocks. Flat enough to walk to the Ashgrove Avenue shops and Mt St Michael's. The creek edge at the bottom of the estate is the part to check on the flood map.

Suits Families buying the house they will not leave. The dearest addresses in the suburb and the ones that come up least.

2The Grove and the Stewart Road ridge

Stewart Road, Jubilee Terrace, Harry Street and the side streets climbing off Waterworks Road toward Marist on Frasers Road

The high ground between the two creeks. The Stewart Place tram shelter and war memorial mark where the tram stopped in 1924, and the Ashgrovians run along the ridge either side of it. Elevated, older trees, and the traffic on Jubilee Terrace and Stewart Road is the thing to listen for at 5.30pm.

Suits Buyers who want the breeze, the bus at the bottom of the street and a Marist or Ashgrove State School walk.

3St Johns Wood

Piddington Street, St Johns Avenue, Yoku Road, Acacia Drive and Othaki Road

A suburb in its own right until 1975 and still called by its name. Enoggera Creek wraps it so completely that it feels cut off, in a good way. St John's Wood House on Piddington Street is one of the oldest homes in Brisbane's west. The trade-off is the creek: Acacia Drive and the low streets flooded in 2022 and rose fast again in the March 2025 cyclone rain.

Suits Families who want a village inside the suburb: one way in, the creek on three sides, the sports ground and the bowls club at the end of the road.

4Ashgrove West and Dorrington

Waterworks Road west of Coopers Camp Road, Buxton and Ashbourne Streets around Oakleigh State School, Mirrabooka Road, Lynwood Crescent and Cavell Terrace

Dorrington was the suburb of Oakleigh until 1946 and its own suburb until 1975. Post-war brick and timber on full-sized blocks, the Waterworks Road shops at Cavell Terrace with the bakery and the wine bar, and the 385 and the 382 Rocket stopping outside. The best value in 4060 and the fastest run to The Gap.

Suits Families buying their first Ashgrove house. Post-war homes, the Oakleigh and Mater Dei school walk, Dorrington Park at the end of the street.

Schools and catchments

Ashgrove has two state primary schools of its own and no state high school, and it splits four ways for primary and three ways for secondary. On the 2026 catchment map Ashgrove State School takes the west, about 39 percent of the suburb's area; Oakleigh State School the north, about 38 percent and the most homes; Ithaca Creek State School the south-east toward Bardon, about 15 percent; and Newmarket State School the north-eastern corner. For secondary, The Gap State High takes the west, about 45 percent of the area, Kelvin Grove State College the east and south-east, about 36 percent of the area but half the homes, and Everton Park State High the northern streets toward Enoggera, about 19 percent. Primary catchments are drawn by road distance, so the creeks and the ridges put neighbouring streets in different schools. Check the exact address on EdMap before you count on any of them, and ask us which side of the line a house sits on before you inspect.

The secondary lines are the ones that move prices: The Gap State High in the west, Kelvin Grove State College in the east, and Everton Park State High for the northern streets such as Buxton Street and most of Mirrabooka Road. The Gap and Kelvin Grove are negotiated catchments with caps, so out-of-catchment is a waitlist, not a plan. Waterworks Road itself changes school partway along. For primary, two Ashgrove streets across a creek from each other can sit in different schools. We pull the EdMap for the exact lot before every inspection.

Bus

Route 385 is the BUZ: every 15 minutes or better, seven days, The Gap to the city along Waterworks Road, Coopers Camp Road and Given Terrace to Roma Street and Queen Street, about 27 to 30 minutes from the Ashgrove stops. The 61 Maroon CityGlider starts at Stewart Road at Ashgrove Village and runs every 10 minutes in the peak and 15 off-peak, 18 hours a day and all night on Friday and Saturday, through the city to Coorparoo. The 381 runs Waterworks Road to Wickham Terrace, the 380 via Hilder Road, and the 382 Rocket is the express that stops at Coopers Camp Road at West Ashgrove.

Route 385 timetableRoute 61 timetable

Train

No station in the suburb. Newmarket station on the Ferny Grove line is the closest for the Dorrington and Avenues side, about 6.5 kilometres from Central by rail, and Alderley is the next one out; both are a five-minute drive or a creek-path cycle. Trains to Central are frequent; check the timetable for the exact journey time from the address you are looking at.

Train timetable

Road

Fifteen minutes to the CBD by car outside the peak, down Waterworks Road and Musgrave Road through Red Hill; the T2 lane runs inbound 7am to 9am on weekdays. The Gap and Mt Coot-tha are ten minutes, Toowong and Indooroopilly about the same. The airport is 25 to 30 minutes via the Inner City Bypass and Airport Link, a toll each way.

Route numbers named in the bus notes above. Timetables on Translink.

Pinch points Waterworks Road is the only real way in and out, and it backs up from Coopers Camp Road toward Red Hill from 7.30am. Jubilee Terrace and Stewart Road take the overflow, so a house on either hears it. Two big colleges put a lot of cars on Frasers Road and Elimatta Drive at 8am and 3pm on a school day; drive it yourself before you decide the address is quiet. Parking at the Ashgrove Avenue shops is tight on a Saturday morning.

Weekends

The creek bikewaysIn the suburbTwo shared paths follow Enoggera Creek and Ithaca Creek: mostly flat, off-road, past playgrounds and barbecue spots, and they join the backstreet route into the city for a bike commute. The Esplanade Park at Trout Street is the easy place to start with the pram.Mt Coot-tha10 min driveTen minutes up the road: the lookout with the cafe, more than 70 kilometres of walking and mountain-bike trails, the Botanic Gardens and the Planetarium. Most Ashgrove families treat it as their back paddock.

  • Dorrington ParkIn the suburb

    The Dorrington side's park on Mirrabooka Road: skate park, basketball half court, the creek bikeway through it, picnic shelters with electric barbecues, toilets and an unfenced off-leash area for the dog.

The houses

What is here
The Ashgrovian is the suburb's own house: late 1920s to mid 1930s, an asymmetrical pyramid roof with a big front gable and smaller gables behind, bay windows, verandahs, batten skirts and plaster ceilings. They run along the ridges and through the Avenues. Around them sit older villas like Glen Lyon, interwar and art deco homes, post-war brick and timber in Ashgrove West and Dorrington, and a steady run of small-lot rebuilds where a post-war house has been split. About four in five dwellings are detached houses; the few units sit along Waterworks Road.
Block sizes
600 square metres is the standard Ashgrovian block, with 700 to 900 along the ridges and in the Avenues. Post-war streets in the west are similar. The new subdivisions are around 400 square metres, so check the lot size before you assume an Ashgrove address means an Ashgrove yard.
Character overlays
Most of the pre-1947 houses sit under the traditional building character overlay, which protects the streetscape and steers extensions, and pre-1911 homes cannot be demolished. Two dozen sites in the suburb are heritage listed outright, including homes on Ashgrove Avenue, Dorset Street and Devonshire Street, the avenue of trees on Glenlyon Drive and both state schools. Check the overlay on City Plan before you plan a lift and build.
How it was built
  1. 1876The villa Glen Lyon went up in what became the Avenues.
  2. 1920sThe Glenlyon Estate was subdivided into the Avenues, with the tram reaching Stewart Place in 1924.
  3. Late 1920s to mid 1930sThe Ashgrovian arrived: pyramid roof, big front gable, bay windows and verandahs, along the ridges and through the Avenues.
  4. Post-warBrick and timber homes filled Ashgrove West and Dorrington on full-sized blocks.
  5. 1975St Johns Wood and Dorrington, suburbs in their own right, were folded into Ashgrove.
  6. NowSmall-lot rebuilds of around 400 square metres appear where post-war houses have been split; the few units sit along Waterworks Road.

What the money buys

Around $1.5m

A post-war three-bedder in Ashgrove West or Dorrington, or a small-lot rebuild off a busier street, usually needing work.

$2m to $3m

A renovated Ashgrovian on 600 square metres on the Stewart Road ridge or in St Johns Wood, or an unrenovated one in the Avenues. The suburb's house median sits in this band.

$3m and above

The Avenues: a big-block Ashgrovian on Glenlyon Drive or Elimatta Drive, or a house that never reached the portals.

What to check before you buy in Ashgrove

Flood

Both creeks flood. Ithaca Creek came through Ashgrove in February 2022 for the first time since 1974, and Enoggera Creek took homes on Acacia Drive and the low streets of St Johns Wood the same week, then rose from nothing to the top of its banks in about six hours in the March 2025 cyclone rain. Pull the FloodWise Property Report for the exact lot, ask for the floor levels, and get an insurance quote before the building and pest, not after.

Flood Awareness MapFloodWise Property Report

Noise

Traffic, not aircraft, is the Ashgrove question: Waterworks Road, Jubilee Terrace and Stewart Road all carry it, and a house on the high side of a busy road still hears it from the back deck. Stand in the yard at 7.30am and again at 5.30pm. Type the address into the Brisbane Airport flight path tool as well; the western suburbs get less than the east, but the runway mode changes it.

Brisbane Airport flight path tool

Overlays and approvals

Traditional building character and pre-1911 on most of the older stock, creek and overland flow overlays along both creeks. City Plan's interactive mapping shows every overlay on the lot, and Development.i shows what the neighbours have been approved to build, including the small-lot splits.

Catchments

Three secondary catchments split the suburb, all with enrolment management plans, and four primary catchments touch it. Check the lot on EdMap, then ring the school.

Queensland EdMap

Red flags

  • A creek-edge block in St Johns Wood, the bottom of the Avenues or the Dorrington flats with no FloodWise report, no floor-height survey and no recent insurance quote.
  • An Ashgrovian that has been lifted and built in underneath without the council approvals on file. Ask for the records before you fall for the finish.
  • A rebuilt post-war house on a 400 square metre split lot priced as if it still had the full block. Check the lot size on the title, not the listing.

Where the value sits

  • An unrenovated Ashgrovian in the Avenues or on the ridge, above the flood line, where the bones are the value and the finish is yours to choose.
  • Post-war houses in Ashgrove West and Dorrington on full-sized blocks outside the character overlay, which can be reworked without the heritage hurdles and sit in the Oakleigh and Mater Dei walk.
  • The high side of St Johns Wood: the village feel and the sports ground at the end of the road, with the creek a view rather than a risk.

Buying in Ashgrove: the questions we get

It depends on the street. For state secondary the suburb splits three ways: The Gap State High in the west, Kelvin Grove State College in the east and south-east, and Everton Park State High for the northern streets toward Enoggera. For primary, Ashgrove State School takes the west and Oakleigh State School the north, Ithaca Creek State School the south-eastern streets toward Bardon and Newmarket State School the north-eastern corner. All of them run enrolment management plans. Check the exact address on EdMap and ask us which side of the line a house sits on.

The creek streets do. Ithaca Creek flooded the suburb in February 2022 for the first time since 1974, and Enoggera Creek came up through St Johns Wood and the Acacia Drive area the same week. The ridges and the Avenues above the creek did not. Every Ashgrove purchase we make starts with the FloodWise report and the floor levels.

The 385 BUZ along Waterworks Road every 15 minutes, about 27 to 30 minutes to Queen Street, or the 61 Maroon CityGlider from Stewart Road every 10 minutes in the peak. There is no train in the suburb; Newmarket and Alderley stations are a five-minute drive. By car it is fifteen minutes outside the peak and noticeably more at 8am.

The interwar Queenslander the suburb is known for: built in the late 1920s and 30s with a steep pyramid roof, a big front gable with smaller gables behind, bay windows, verandahs and plaster ceilings, usually on 600 square metres or more. Most sit under the traditional building character overlay, which protects the street and shapes what you can do with the house.

In 2026, a renovated Ashgrovian on around 600 square metres on the Stewart Road ridge or in St Johns Wood, or an unrenovated one in the Avenues. The house median sits just above $2 million, and the Avenues run well past $3 million.

The Gap is further out, cheaper per square metre, with bigger post-war blocks and one road in. Ashgrove is ten minutes closer, has the character homes, Marist and Mt St Michael's on foot, and the CityGlider. Families who want the Queenslander and the shorter run end up in Ashgrove; families who want a bigger yard and can live with Waterworks Road end up in The Gap.
