Share houses in Brisbane
Brisbane share houses are spread across a wide inner ring, and Queenslanders split into three or four bedrooms are the standard format.
Where people share in Brisbane
West End & Highgate Hill
The traditional share house heart of Brisbane, walkable to South Bank and the city.
St Lucia & Toowong
Next to the University of Queensland, very strong student share market.
Newstead & Fortitude Valley
Apartment shares and newer builds, close to the nightlife and the city.
Annerley & Greenslopes
Quieter, larger houses, good bus connections into the CBD.
Kelvin Grove & Herston
Close to QUT and the major hospitals, popular with students and health workers.
Getting around
Buses do most of the work, supported by trains and the CityCat ferries along the river. River access is genuinely useful for the inner suburbs.
Study and turnover
UQ, QUT and Griffith drive most of the seasonal turnover, concentrated around February and July.
Once you have found the room
Finding a room in Brisbane is the hard part. Living in it well is the part that decides whether you stay. Before your first rent day, agree who pays what and when, and put it somewhere everyone can see rather than in a group chat.
