Aspley is approximately 13 kilometres directly north of the Brisbane CBD and was originally known as 'Cabbage Tree Creek' although the name was officially changed to 'Aspley' in 1897.
The majority of housing is in the form of detached dwellings with limited townhouse and unit developments. There is a wide variety of housing located within the suburb that ranges from chamferboard two bedroom houses to larger modern brick residences in more up-market areas of the suburb. The suburb is divided by Maundrell Terrace into the 'old' section on the eastern side and the newer section on the western side.
Aspley contains a variety of restaurants and retail businesses including Brisbane's only 'Pick and Pay' Hypermarket, a Home Base retail centre and associated shopping centres. A Westfield shopping centre is located close by in Chermside with the bayside suburb of Sandgate only ten minutes away. Overall there are ample services and facilities located within Aspley that add to the appeal of the suburb.
Aspley remains a sound area for investment in housing, with good access to the CBD and the north coast, a substantial retail precinct and a variety of restaurants and eateries. There is still affordable housing for families available in Aspley that should show good returns over the long term. There are two state primary schools and one state high school. The nearest railway stations are at Zillmere and Geebung.
Aspley is home to an even spread across most age groups reflecting the successful integration of young families and older residents.
