Kelvin Grove Suburb Profile - Resident Voices:
What They Say About Kelvin Grove

"Having lived in Kelvin Grove for five years, I can only say great things about it. It’s so close to everything— the city, the Valley, Paddington shops, schools, parks, and transport. My street has fantastic neighbours, and I feel safer here than anywhere else I’ve lived in Brisbane. It’s a great suburb for an active lifestyle, with plenty of people out enjoying the beautiful weather. We're selling soon to find a larger home, but only in Kelvin Grove—I never want to leave!"

"This is a great family-friendly suburb, close to everything. Major infrastructure projects are about to begin, including Metro Rail and the redevelopment of Victoria Park Golf Course into a fantastic green space for everyone to enjoy."

"Just a 10-minute ride to the CBD, Kelvin Grove is conveniently close to universities, schools, and The Urban Village. The suburb has a vibrant and diverse community, with a great mix of students, families, and senior citizens, creating a welcoming and lively atmosphere."

"I love this area! It’s walkable to the city and the Valley or an easy bus ride. The hilly landscape offers great views and summer breezes. There’s a fantastic mix of shops, restaurants, parks, and a top school linked to the local uni. With a golf course, hospital, and easy access to major roads, getting around is simple. Two sporting grounds and endless dining and shopping options make Kelvin Grove a hidden gem just two suburbs from the city."
