Graceville Suburb Profile 

Graceville is the quintessential Brisbane suburb. Picture-perfect Queenslanders have been carefully preserved within the confines of this small residential suburb, lending the area heritage charm and a village-like atmosphere. Living in Graceville means enjoying its abundance of parks and long stretches of river frontage, making it one of Brisbane’s prettiest suburbs. Mornings are when Graceville is at its best. Early risers stroll through the parks and along the river before picking up coffee and supplies from the shops along Honour Avenue, known affectionately as The Village. 

On this strip, an increasing number of cafés, artisan delis, and bakeries contribute to the strong sense of community that is a hallmark of the suburb. A handful of restaurants and takeaway eateries fire up each evening. Locals who seek a more exuberant nightlife are minutes away from the CBD and the Southbank precinct. Living in Graceville may be quiet, but nearby Indooroopilly and Rocklea offer all the conveniences—Indooroopilly is home to one of Brisbane’s largest shopping centres, and Rocklea hosts Brisbane’s largest fresh produce market every Saturday. More recently, Graceville has played host to its own monthly market, which offers fresh produce, locally-made curios, and pantry staples.
