A family-oriented suburb, Fitzgibbon is made up predominantly of single unit dwellings (houses) with a few unit/townhouse developments mixed in. Affordable and modern housing make the area attractive to first homebuyers taking advantage of the First Home Owners Grant. With a mix of housing styles, including low set brick homes, Fitzgibbon's price growth has remained steady. The suburban lifestyle attracts young and established families and the affordable rates make Fitzgibbon popular among renters. Families in the area are well serviced for with a number of schools in and around Fitzgibbon catering to both primary and secondary school children. Also close is Northpoint Institute of TAFE in Bracken Ridge and the Carseldine campus of the Queensland University of Technology. Recreational facilities in the local area include numerous parks, bike and walk ways. Public transport in the area is also good with regular bus routes supplemented by easy access to the Pacific Highway and the Gateway arterial road.
