Samford Suburb Profile 

With its lush green surrounds and neighbourly feel, living in Samford is the epitome of small-town living with an authentic country atmosphere. As one of the closest semi-rural townships to Brisbane’s CBD, the area is bounded by rugged terrain, offering picturesque views across Samford Valley. The greater Samford landscape is dense with native bushland, home to some of Brisbane’s best nature walks with flowing creeks, waterfalls, and natural swimming holes. 

Nestled in the southeast of the neighbourhood is living in Samford Village, which offers everything you need from an inner-Brisbane suburb. Main Street runs through the centre of town, home to intimate cafés and restaurants, grocery stores, and the local pub. In this central area, the historical museum and other iconic heritage landmarks speak to the district’s rich history. 

With no shortage of fresh produce, the monthly Samford Valley Markets offer a wide range of locally-grown produce, tasty treats, and handmade goods, while the beloved Samford pub, with its beer garden, pavilion restaurant, and children’s playground, is a popular haunt. Large residential properties surround the heart of the village, with generous hobby farms behind picket fences, horse-riding facilities, and manicured green spaces. Living in Samford truly is the place to go for a taste of country living.
