Hunter Gather has bought 3 properties in Hendra for clients since 2026. Of the purchases where the property type is on record, that is 1 house. Hendra sits inside our Brisbane buying area, which our agents cover street by street rather than from a desk.

Where the buyer agreed to publish the price, Hendra purchases ranged from $1,039,500 to $2,400,000 (3 of 3 published). The rest settled privately at the buyer's request.

The buying in Hendra was done by Ernest Tong and Jacob Butler. Whoever you speak to first, the search runs on the same shared database and the same weekly cadence.

Where Hendra sits

Hendra is the flat, quiet suburb between the racecourses and the airport: about 7 kilometres north-east of the CBD, with Ascot and the Eagle Farm and Doomben tracks on its southern edge, Clayfield to the west, Nundah across Kedron Brook to the north and Brisbane Airport over the East-West Arterial to the north-east. The streets are lined with jacarandas and poincianas, the blocks are bigger than Ascot's for the money, and the trade-offs are the two things that sit beside it: the airport overhead and the brook along the northern edge.

Boundaries
Kedron Brook, Schulz Canal and the East-West Arterial to the north. Southern Cross Way and Airport Drive to the east. Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses to the south. The Doomben railway line and Clayfield to the west.
The roads
Nudgee Road (the spine, from the racecourses up to the airport). Gerler Road and Zillman Road (the two local roads that carry the shops, the schools and the 301 bus). East-West Arterial Road (the airport run and the Airport Link portal at Toombul, on the northern edge). Junction Road and Sefton Road (the run across to Clayfield and Racecourse Road)

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 station streets

Chermside Street, Lethem Street, Bowley Street, Best Street, Lukin, Marie and Union Streets, and Sefton Road, the grid between Hendra station and the Clayfield line

The oldest part of the suburb, laid out around the 1882 station. Queenslanders and interwar homes on 600 to 800 square metre blocks, Ardon on Bowley Street on the heritage register, Thai Naramit and the corner store at the Zillman Road shops. This is the one pocket where the primary catchment splits: Chermside, Bowley, Best, Conquest and Dora Streets and most of Lethem read Eagle Junction State School, and the lower end of Sefton Road Ascot State School, with the rest of the suburb in Hendra State School.

Suits Families who want the train, the Zillman Road shops and Clayfield's cafes on foot, and a pre-war house on a full block.

2Gerler Road and the church streets

Gerler Road, Manson Road, Bowman Street, Derby Street, Burilda Street, Doncaster Street, Pring Street and Woodville Street

The centre of Hendra. Our Lady Help of Christians on Bowman Street, St John's Anglican on Manson Road, Goodstart on Manson Road, Bannister Park and T.C. Beirne Park at the end of the street, and Wolff Coffee Roasters on Gerler Road. Glengariff, the 1889 villa on Derby Street, sets the tone, and the blocks around it are the biggest in the suburb.

Suits Families with an Our Lady Help of Christians enrolment, or who want the two parks, the Goodstart and the coffee within a pram walk.

3The racecourse side

Mein Street, Long Street, Gordon Street, Lilley Street, Harding, Paul, Noel and Khartoum Streets, School Street, Flemington Street and Raceview Avenue, the streets between Nudgee Road and Doomben

Post-war houses on flat 600 to 800 square metre blocks, more of them coming down for two-storey builds every year, with Hendra State School on Nudgee Road, the Brickhouse Cafe and the Woolworths at Racecourse Village across the road. Doomben's gates are at the bottom of the street, so race days bring parked cars a few Saturdays a year. Our three Hendra purchases all sit in this pocket.

Suits Families building or rebuilding. The knockdown and new-build pocket, with Hendra State School and Racecourse Village at the end of the street.

4The brook side

The Promenade, The Avenue, The Grange, Rothwell Crescent, Chateau Avenue, McIntyre Street, Hedley Avenue and Widdop Street, north of Gellibrand Street toward Kedron Brook

The newest streets in the suburb, laid out on the flats beside Kedron Brook with the Jim Soorley and Kedron Brook bikeways along the water. Every street here tested inside the February 2022 flood extent and the 1 per cent annual chance flood line, and Aviation High on Widdop Street closed for a term after the 2022 flood. Floor levels, the FloodWise report and an insurance quote come before the inspection, not after.

Suits Families who want a newer house, the bikeway at the back gate and Aviation High a walk away, and who read the flood report first.

5The airport edge

Navigator Place, Pleystowe Crescent, Gadara Street, Bulli Street, Golden Square, Webster Avenue and Clarke Street, east of Nudgee Road toward Airport Drive

Post-war and 1980s houses on the eastern flats, with Hendra's industrial precinct (BOUNCE, the coffee roastery, the trade yards) between the houses and Airport Drive. Skygate, DFO and the Woolworths at the airport are five minutes away. The aircraft are closest here, so this is the pocket to inspect at 6am and again at 9pm.

Suits Buyers who want the most house for the money in 4011 and can live with the industrial precinct and the flight path as neighbours.

Schools and catchments

Hendra has two state schools inside it, and that makes it simpler than Ascot or Clayfield. Hendra State School on Nudgee Road takes almost every address, and Aviation High on Widdop Street takes the whole suburb for Years 7 to 12. The exceptions are at the edges: the station streets against Clayfield fall to Eagle Junction State School, the Sefton Road end to Ascot State School, a handful of addresses on the East-West Arterial to Nundah State School, and Northgate and Hamilton State Schools touch the industrial and airport edges. Hendra State School is the only one of them without an enrolment cap. Check the exact address on EdMap before you count on a school, and ask us which side of the line a house sits on before you inspect.

State primary

Hendra State SchoolPrep to 6

Prep to Year 6 on Nudgee Road, with a second gate on School Street. Opened in 1864 as Eagle Farm State School, which makes it one of the oldest schools in Queensland, and one of the smallest, with enrolments in the dozens. Its catchment covers almost all of Hendra, and the school is not enrolment managed, so there is no cap and it accepts out-of-catchment families too. The extended-family feel is the reason some families choose it over the bigger schools next door.

309 Nudgee Road, Hendra QLD 4011MapWebsite

Eagle Junction State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 1,036

Prep to Year 6 on Roseby Avenue in Clayfield, over 900 students. Its equidistant catchment reaches into the station streets of Hendra: Chermside, Bowley, Best, Conquest and Dora Streets and most of Lethem and Marie Streets. Enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025: a cap of 1,036 students and no more than 175 Prep places unless more in-catchment children enrol.

49 Roseby Avenue, Clayfield QLD 4011MapWebsite

Ascot State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 807

Prep to Year 6 on Pringle Street in Ascot. Its equidistant catchment takes the lower end of Sefton Road and a couple of houses at the ends of Best and Dora Streets on the 2026 map. Kitchener Road's Hendra houses read as Hendra State School. Enrolment management plan gazetted 30 September 2022: a cap of 807 students and Prep limited to 125 in five classrooms unless in-catchment demand is higher.

Pringle Street, Ascot QLD 4007MapWebsite

Nundah State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 850

Prep to Year 6 on Bage Street in Nundah. On the 2026 polygons its equidistant catchment touches only the northern edge of Hendra along the East-West Arterial, a handful of addresses. The Widdop Street houses that read Nundah sit over the line in Clayfield. Enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025: a cap of 850 students and Prep limited to 125.

41 Bage Street, Nundah QLD 4012MapWebsite

Northgate State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 348

Prep to Year 6 on Amelia Street in Nundah. On the 2026 map its catchment touches only the industrial land north of the East-West Arterial on the Hendra side of Nudgee Road, so it touches the edge only, with a few addresses on Nudgee Road and Serpentine Road. Equidistant catchment with a cap of 348 students, gazetted 28 October 2022.

128 Amelia Street, Nundah QLD 4012MapWebsite

Hamilton State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 260

Prep to Year 6 on Oxford Street in Hamilton. Its catchment clips the far eastern edge of Hendra along Nudgee Road near Southern Cross Way, with no address inside it on the 2026 polygons. Equidistant catchment, cap of 260 students and Prep limited to 50, gazetted 20 February 2026.

71 Oxford Street, Hamilton QLD 4007MapWebsite

State secondary

Aviation HighYears 7 to 12 · Cap 861

Years 7 to 12 on Widdop Street, inside the suburb, and the state high school for every Hendra address on the 2026 map. About 625 students, an independent public school that opened in 1963 as Hendra State High and took the aviation name in 2007 for its aerospace, engineering and data programs. Negotiated catchment with a cap of 861 students, gazetted 7 November 2025, with 282 of those places reserved for the three programs of excellence (60 Take Flight, 60 Aviation Engineering, 162 P-Tech Data Analytics). Out-of-catchment students come in by selection; an in-catchment address is the guaranteed path. The school closed after the February 2022 flood and reopened for Term 2.

67 Widdop Street, Clayfield QLD 4011MapWebsite

Catholic and independent

Our Lady Help of Christians SchoolPrep to 6

Co-educational Catholic primary, Prep to Year 6, on Bowman Street since 1937, run by Brisbane Catholic Education with outside school hours care on site. The Catholic primary most Hendra families walk to, and the reason the church streets are tightly held.

Long day care in the Skygate precinct at the airport, five minutes up Airport Drive, alongside The Joey Club. Confirm the operator, hours and which one suits before you point a client at it.

Skygate, Brisbane Airport QLD 4008Map

Hendra is the rare inner-north suburb with one primary and one secondary catchment for almost every address, and neither Hendra State School nor Aviation High is a line that moves prices the way Ascot State School's does next door. The edges are the thing to check: we tested the 2026 catchment maps street by street, and Chermside, Bowley, Best, Conquest and Dora Streets and most of Lethem and Marie Streets sit in Eagle Junction State School, and the Sefton Road end in Ascot State School. Kitchener Road's Hendra houses read as Hendra State School. We pull the EdMap for the exact lot before every inspection.

Pinch points Nudgee Road carries the airport and racecourse traffic and backs up at the East-West Arterial from 7.30am. Race days at Doomben and Eagle Farm, most Saturdays through the season, fill Mein Street, Raceview Avenue and the streets off Nudgee Road with parked cars. School drop-off doubles the traffic on Bowman Street and Gerler Road between 8am and 8.45am. Inspect a Nudgee Road or Gerler Road house at 5.30pm before you decide the traffic does not bother you.

The houses

What is here
Houses make up nearly nine in ten dwellings. Queenslanders and interwar homes around the station and the church streets, three of them on the Queensland Heritage Register (Glengariff on Derby Street, Ardon on Bowley Street and Inspice on Zillman Road), post-war timber and brick on the flats toward Nudgee Road and the airport, a wave of two-storey new builds replacing them on the racecourse side, and a newer estate on the brook side. Very few units; the ones that exist sit near the station and along Nudgee Road.
Block sizes
600 to 800 square metres is normal and the streets are flat. That is the point of Hendra over Ascot or Clayfield: the same schools next door, a bigger yard, and a block that suits a knockdown and rebuild.
Character overlays
The pre-1947 houses around the station and the church streets are the ones likely to carry the traditional building character overlay under City Plan, which protects the streetscape and steers extensions to the rear, and pre-1911 houses cannot be demolished. The three heritage-listed houses carry their own stricter rules again. The post-war streets are mostly outside the overlay, which is why the rebuilds cluster there. Check the lot on City Plan before you plan a lift and build, or a demolition.
How it was built
  1. 1882The station opened and the oldest streets in the suburb were laid out around it.
  2. 1889Glengariff, the villa on Derby Street, was built; the blocks around it are still the biggest in the suburb.
  3. Pre-1947Queenslanders and interwar homes filled the station streets and the church streets, three now on the Queensland Heritage Register.
  4. Post-war to 1980sTimber and brick houses filled the flats toward Nudgee Road, the racecourses and the airport edge.
  5. 2022The February flood covered the newest streets on the brook side and closed Aviation High for a term.
  6. NowTwo-storey new builds replace post-war houses on the racecourse side, more of them coming down every year.

What the money buys

Under $1.6m

A two or three bedroom post-war house on a full block on the racecourse side or the airport edge, usually needing work, or an older cottage near the station. Three-bedroom houses sold at a median of about $1.55m in the year to September 2026. Our published Hendra purchases start at $1,039,500.

$1.6m to $2.5m

A four-bedroom family home: a renovated post-war house or a done Queenslander on 600 to 800 square metres. Four-bedroom houses sold at a median of about $2.15m, half of all Hendra house sales in the year landed between $1.6m and $2.5m, and our published purchases run to $2,400,000.

$2.5m and above

A five-bedroom new build on the racecourse side, the big blocks on Derby and Bowman Streets, or a heritage house. Five-bedroom houses sold at a median of about $2.45m and the year's top sale reached $6.55m.

What to check before you buy in Hendra

Flood

Kedron Brook and Schulz Canal are the flood story in Hendra, not the river. We tested every street against the council's flood layers: The Promenade, The Avenue, The Grange, Rothwell Crescent, Chateau Avenue and McIntyre Street on the brook side, Widdop Street, Matong and Brook Streets, and Blackburn Street on the airport edge all sit inside the February 2022 extent and the 1 per cent annual chance flood line, and Aviation High closed for a term in 2022. The station streets, the church streets and the racecourse side tested clear. Pull the FloodWise Property Report for the exact lot, ask for the floor levels on anything north of Gellibrand Street, and get an insurance quote before the building and pest, not after.

Flood Awareness MapFloodWise Property Report

Noise

Hendra sits between the airport and the city, so it hears aircraft in both runway modes: arrivals over the city when the wind is northerly, departures over the city when it is southerly, and the eastern streets hear the most. Between 10pm and 6am the airport's preferred mode sends both arrivals and departures over the bay, but that depends on the weather. Type the address into the Brisbane Airport flight tracker and look at the last seven days of runway use, then stand in the backyard at 6am and again at 9pm. Nudgee Road and the East-West Arterial carry the road noise; the brook side hears the arterial.

Brisbane Airport flight path tool

Overlays and approvals

Traditional building character and pre-1911 on the older stock near the station and the church streets, state heritage listings on three houses, and the industrial zone on the airport edge. City Plan's interactive mapping shows every overlay on the lot, and Development.i shows what the neighbours have been approved to build, which matters on the racecourse side where the rebuilds are going up.

City Plan mappingDevelopment.i

Catchments

Hendra State School and Aviation High for almost every address, with Eagle Junction and Ascot State Schools on the edges. Only Hendra State School is uncapped. Check the lot on EdMap, then ring the school.

Queensland EdMap

Red flags

  • A brook-side house on The Promenade, The Avenue, Rothwell Crescent or Widdop Street with no floor-height survey and no recent flood insurance quote. These streets went under in February 2022.
  • A house bought on a daytime inspection only. The flight path changes with the wind and the time of day, and a Saturday at 11am tells you nothing about a Tuesday at 6am.
  • A rebuild on the racecourse side sold on the finish, with no building approvals or final inspection certificate on file, or a character house lifted and built in underneath without the council records. Ask for the paperwork before you fall for the kitchen.

Where the value sits

  • A post-war house on a flat 700 square metre block on the racecourse side, outside the character overlay and above the flood line, that can be reworked or rebuilt without the heritage hurdles. This is where our Hendra buying has landed.
  • An unrenovated Queenslander in the church streets or the station streets, where the block and the bones do the work and the premium is in the finish you add rather than the one you pay for.
  • The station streets on the Eagle Junction State School side of the line, for a family that wants a capped school, the train and Clayfield's cafes at a Hendra price.

Buying in Hendra: the questions we get

Hendra State School for primary and Aviation High for secondary across almost the whole suburb, and Hendra State School is the only one nearby without an enrolment cap. The edges differ: Chermside, Bowley, Best, Conquest and Dora Streets and most of Lethem Street near the station sit in Eagle Junction State School, and the lower end of Sefton Road in Ascot State School. Check the exact address on EdMap and ask us which side of the line a house sits on.

The streets along Kedron Brook and Schulz Canal do: The Promenade, The Avenue, The Grange, Rothwell Crescent, McIntyre Street and Widdop Street were inside the February 2022 flood and sit inside the 1 per cent flood line. The station streets, the church streets and the racecourse side tested clear. Every Hendra purchase we make starts with the FloodWise report and the floor levels.

It depends on the street, the wind and the time of day. Hendra sits between the airport and the city, so it hears arrivals in a northerly and departures in a southerly, and the eastern streets hear the most. Overnight the airport prefers to run over the bay when the weather allows. Check the address on the Brisbane Airport flight tracker and inspect early morning and evening before you decide.

Hendra station on the Doomben line reaches Central in 18 minutes, half-hourly on weekdays and hourly on weekends. The 300 and 301 buses run through the suburb to the city, and Eagle Junction two stops west adds the Airport and Shorncliffe lines. By car it is fifteen to twenty minutes outside the peak, and the airport is five to ten minutes the other way.

In 2026, a four-bedroom family home on 600 to 800 square metres: a renovated post-war house on the racecourse side or a done Queenslander near the station or the church streets. Half of all Hendra house sales in the year to September 2026 landed between $1.6m and $2.5m, and a five-bedroom new build starts around $2.5m.

Ascot has Racecourse Road, the grandest homes on the hill and the Ascot State School line that moves prices. Hendra has the same private schools and the same racecourses, flatter and bigger blocks for the money, an uncapped state primary and its own station, with the airport closer overhead. Families who want the yard and a house they can rebuild usually end up in Hendra.
