SHERWOOD
GET TO KNOW
THE AREA
With wide streets, lush green surrounds and hard-to-beat Queenslander homes, Sherwood is a true gem on Brisbane’s outer skirts. Preferring to keep things low-key, Sherwood is a quiet neighbourhood with a strong sense of community that keeps locals loyal.
Lifestyle
Mature, peaceful and established, Sherwood’s leafy tree-lined streets and established Queenslanders with landscaped gardens set the scene for this community with a small-town feel.
Sherwood’s atmosphere is generous and welcoming. The lush green parklands surrounding Oxley Creek appeal to families and are perfect for leisurely weekend activities. The local action happens at the heritage-listed Arboretum, which is the community heart of Sherwood. This reserve encompasses over 16 hectares of public multi-use space – lawns, barbeque facilities, playgrounds and walking tracks along the river.
