Where Windsor sits

Windsor is about four kilometres north of the CBD, the first proper suburb past the hospital, with Enoggera Creek wrapping its southern and western edge on the way to becoming Breakfast Creek. Lutwyche Road runs straight up the middle carrying the Northern Busway underneath it, the Ferny Grove railway line runs through the west of the suburb, and between the two the land climbs to Eildon Hill and the old school ridge. It was the Town of Windsor until 1925, and the stone council chambers, the war memorial park and the 1916 school are still on Lutwyche Road to prove it.

Boundaries
Enoggera Creek to the south and west, with Herston and the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital across the water and the Inner City Bypass along the Bowen Hills edge. Lutwyche sits to the north, Albion across Albion Road to the east, Wilston and Grange to the west beyond the railway.
The roads
Lutwyche Road (Metroad 3, the busway stations, the school and the memorial park). Newmarket Road (the run west to Wilston Village and Newmarket, the 142 Newmarket Road centre). Albion Road (east to Albion and Sandgate Road). The Airport Link and the Inner City Bypass, which surface at the suburb's southern edge. The Ferny Grove railway line, with Windsor station on Prospect 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.

1Eildon Hill

Constitution Road, Jessop, Rougham and Cumberland Streets and the streets around the reservoir at the top

The highest ground in the suburb, sixty metres up at the reservoir on Constitution Road, with city views from the back decks and Wilston Village a walk downhill. Big interwar homes and Queenslanders on generous blocks, all in the Kedron State High catchment and a short walk to Windsor State School.

Suits Families who want the view and the breeze and are prepared to pay for a hill block. Some of the dearest houses in 4030 and the ones that never flood.

2The school ridge

Harris, Palmer, Rupert, Bess, Crowther and Truro Streets, either side of Windsor State School

The 1916 brick school sits on this ridge at 270 Lutwyche Road, with the heritage-listed Kirkston on Rupert Street, The Grange on Crowther Street and the brick cottages on Bess Street around it. Forty to fifty metres above the creek, with Truro Street busway station at the bottom of the hill for a ten-minute run to the city.

Suits Families buying for the school walk. The heritage core of the suburb, with the memorial park, the quarry park and the old council chambers on the doorstep.

3The Avenues

Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Tenth Avenues and Eildon Road, between the railway line and Lutwyche Road

A grid of 1920s and 30s streets around Windsor station with the heritage-listed Boothville on Seventh Avenue. The high school catchment boundary runs along the edge of this pocket: Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Tenth Avenues all read as Kedron State High on the catchment map, while Eildon Road and Legeyt Street are split between Kedron and Fortitude Valley State Secondary College. Check the lot, not the pocket.

Suits Buyers who want the train at the end of the street and Wilston Village for coffee. The walkable middle of the suburb.

4The Grafton Street side

Grafton, Bonython, Roblane, Bowen, Turner, Blackmore, Somerset, Storkey and Salt Streets, running east to Albion Road

The eastern half of the suburb, flatter and quieter as it runs toward Albion, with St Mary of the Cross and Holy Rosary Church on Grafton and Roblane Streets, the Windsor Community Centre, and the two ovals at Windsor Park. Two of our published Windsor purchases are on Storkey Street and Salt Street. The low streets nearest Albion Road need the flood check.

Suits Families who want a flatter block, the Catholic church and Windsor Park within a few minutes on foot, and the Albion Road cafes.

5The Newmarket Road end

Walker Street, Green Terrace, Swan Terrace, Nicholas, Northey, Allom and Noble Streets, and Federation Street on the busway side

The creek flats. Downey Park, Northey Street City Farm and the 142 Newmarket Road centre are all here, and so is the river flood overlay: Swan Hill was badly flooded in 1893, the streets near Breakfast Creek in 1974, and Windsor was on the list again in February 2022. Ten metres above sea level or less along Northey and Allom Streets, so pull the FloodWise report before anything else.

Suits Families buying close to Downey Park, the city farm and the Federation Street busway, with the hospital across the creek. The price of entry to a Windsor house, with floor heights to check.

Getting around

Bus

The Northern Busway runs under Lutwyche Road with three stations in the suburb: Windsor station beside the railway, Truro Street at the school ridge and Federation Street at the Newmarket Road end. Route 333 from Chermside and 340 from Carseldine run down the busway to the city and Woolloongabba, route 77 crosses to Eight Mile Plains, and the 334, 338 and 348 come off Lutwyche Road into Queen Street. On the west side the 346 and 353 run along Newmarket Road, Green Terrace and Northey Street past Downey Park and the city farm. Frequency on the busway routes is every few minutes in the peak; check the Newmarket Road routes for the address you are looking at.

Route 333 timetableRoute 346 timetable

Train

Windsor station on the Ferny Grove line sits in the Avenues between Prospect Road and Eildon Road, open since 1921, one island platform. All-stops services run through Roma Street and Central to Boggo Road and on toward Beenleigh, every fifteen minutes in the weekday morning shoulder and every half hour off-peak on the 25 September stop page. It is the second station out from Bowen Hills, so the city run is short; confirm the minutes on the timetable.

Train timetable

Road

Ten to fifteen minutes to the CBD by car down Lutwyche Road and Bowen Bridge Road outside the peak. The Airport Link tunnel surfaces at the southern edge of the suburb, so the airport is about fifteen minutes with a toll each way, and the Inner City Bypass joins the same interchange for the western suburbs and the Gabba. Chermside in fifteen minutes up Lutwyche Road.

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

Pinch points Lutwyche Road is Metroad 3 and carries the whole northside to the city from 7am; the Bowen Hills interchange where it meets the Airport Link and the Inner City Bypass is the slow point. Newmarket Road at Green Terrace backs up behind the Downey Park weekend sport, and Albion Road takes the cut-through traffic to Sandgate Road. Victoria Park across the creek in Herston is the site of the new Brisbane Stadium and National Aquatic Centre, with parts of the Herston side handed over for construction on 1 June 2026, so expect truck movements on Bowen Bridge Road and Herston Road for years. Inspect anything on Lutwyche, Newmarket or Albion Road at 8am and again at 5.30pm.

The houses

What is here
Grand pre-1900 homes on the hill, twelve of them individually heritage listed including Oakwal on Bush Street, Kirkston on Rupert Street and Boothville on Seventh Avenue. Queenslanders and interwar homes on the Avenues and the school ridge, post-war timber and brick on the Grafton Street side, and a lot of units: 1,732 of the suburb's 3,661 dwellings are units, mostly along Lutwyche Road, Newmarket Road and around the busway stations. One of our four Windsor purchases was a unit on Salt Street.
Block sizes
400 to 700 square metres is normal on the Avenues and the Grafton Street side, bigger on Eildon Hill and the old estates. Windsor blocks are smaller than Wilston and Grange next door; the trade is the four-kilometre commute.
Character overlays
Most of the pre-1947 houses sit under the traditional building character overlay, which protects the streetscape and steers extensions to the rear, and pre-1911 houses cannot be demolished. Windsor goes further than most suburbs: a dozen individual houses and public buildings carry their own heritage listing, which is a stricter set of rules again. The Lutwyche Road corridor is zoned for taller buildings, so check what can be built next door as well as what you can do yourself.
How it was built
  1. Pre-1900Grand homes rose on the hill, twelve of them heritage-listed today, Oakwal, Kirkston and Boothville among them.
  2. 1916The brick school opened on the ridge at 270 Lutwyche Road.
  3. 1921Windsor station opened on the Ferny Grove line, and the Avenues grew up around it through the 1920s and 30s.
  4. 1925Windsor stopped being its own town; the stone council chambers still stand on Lutwyche Road.
  5. Post-warTimber and brick houses filled the flatter Grafton Street side toward Albion.
  6. NowUnits are nearly half the suburb's dwellings, mostly along Lutwyche Road, Newmarket Road and around the busway stations.

What to check before you buy in Windsor

Flood

Enoggera Creek becomes Breakfast Creek at the bottom of the suburb and both have a long record: Swan Hill was badly flooded in 1893, the streets near the creek went under in 1974 and again in 2011, and Windsor was among the inner suburbs flooded in February 2022. The creek flats at the Newmarket Road end (Northey, Allom and Noble Streets, Swan Terrace, Green Terrace, Walker Street) and the low eastern streets toward Albion Road are the ones to check. 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

Lutwyche Road and the busway, the Airport Link and Inner City Bypass portals at the southern edge, and the hospital across the creek. Type the address into the Brisbane Airport flight path tool, then stand in the backyard at 7am and again at 9pm. A Lutwyche Road or Newmarket Road frontage is a different house from the same floor plan two streets back.

Brisbane Airport flight path tool

Overlays and approvals

Traditional building character and pre-1911 on most of the older stock, individual heritage listings on a dozen sites, river and creek flood overlays on the low ground, and a Northern Freeway corridor gazetted in 1972 that was never built but still sits on the plan through the suburb. 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 most along Lutwyche Road.

City Plan mappingDevelopment.i

Catchments

One primary catchment, two high schools split through the middle of the suburb, all with enrolment management. Check the lot on EdMap, then ring the school.

Queensland EdMap

Red flags

  • A low block on the creek flats with no floor-height survey and no recent flood insurance quote, however good the renovation looks.
  • A house in the Avenues sold on the strength of a high school it is not in. The Kedron and Fortitude Valley line runs through these streets; get the EdMap before you get attached.
  • A character house beside a Lutwyche Road site with a development approval for something tall. Check Development.i for the neighbours before you check the house.

Where the value sits

  • A house on the school ridge or Eildon Hill: above the flood line, walk to Windsor State School, and a busway station at the bottom of the hill.
  • The Grafton Street side, where the blocks are flatter, the price is lower and Windsor Park and the church are on foot.
  • Post-war houses on the quieter streets outside the character overlay that can be reworked without the heritage hurdles.

Buying in Windsor: the questions we get

Windsor State School for primary, for all but a handful of addresses on the Wilston edge. High school splits in two: Kedron State High for the northern half (Eildon Hill, the school ridge and the Grafton Street side) and Fortitude Valley State Secondary College for the southern half around Newmarket Road and the creek flats, with the line running along Eildon Road and Legeyt Street. Both 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. Enoggera Creek and Breakfast Creek wrap the southern and western edge, and the low ground at the Newmarket Road end and toward Albion Road went under in 1974, 2011 and February 2022. Eildon Hill and the school ridge sit forty to sixty metres above it and did not. Every Windsor purchase we make starts with the FloodWise report and the floor levels.

The train from Windsor station on the Ferny Grove line, two stops from Bowen Hills into Roma Street and Central. The Northern Busway has three stations under Lutwyche Road, with the 333 and 340 running every few minutes in the peak. By car it is ten to fifteen minutes outside the peak, and the Airport Link puts the airport about fifteen minutes away.

Yes. Windsor State School on Lutwyche Road takes almost the whole suburb for Prep to Year 6. St Mary of the Cross on Grafton Street is the Catholic primary, but it is recorded as closing at the end of 2026, so check before you count on it. The Gregory Terrace schools in Spring Hill are ten minutes down the busway.

In 2026, around the house median: a renovated three-bedroom house on the Grafton Street side or the Newmarket Road end, or a four-bedder that needs work. Our published Windsor house purchases were $1,415,000 on Storkey Street and $1,550,000 on Walker Street. A house on Eildon Hill or the school ridge costs more.

Wilston has the village strip, bigger blocks and one high school catchment. Windsor has its own primary school, three busway stations, the train, Downey Park and the city farm, and it is a kilometre closer to the city with more units and more traffic. Families who want a yard and a quiet street usually cross the line to Wilston; families who want the shortest commute stay in Windsor.
