Life in Corinda

Corinda sits around 9 kilometres southwest of the Brisbane CBD, bordered by the Brisbane River to the east, Oxley Creek to the west and neighbouring Sherwood to the north. At 3.0 square kilometres, it is the largest of Hauss’s core suburbs and offers a more diverse landscape, from elevated hillside streets with views toward Mt Coot-tha to flatter, established residential pockets near the train station.Corinda has historically offered a more accessible entry point into the western corridor than its premium neighbours, while still delivering the schools, character housing and lifestyle appeal that define the area. As prices have continued to climb in Graceville, Sherwood and Chelmer, Corinda has emerged as a steady choice for buyers seeking strong fundamentals at a more achievable price point.

The suburb is home to over 5,500 residents and has grown nearly 10% since 2016. Owner-occupier rates sit at 68.5%, with families and professionals making up the dominant demographic. Corinda’s 17 parks cover over 20% of the suburb’s total area, the highest park coverage in our core catchment.
