Commentary	Wooloowin is an old well-established suburb, which has seen strong growth in its median house price over the last five years. This growth has been due to the suburb's distinct housing character of worker's cottages and Queenslanders, which residents have been busy restoring and renovating. The suburb has its own railway station and retailers are close by at the Toombul shopping centre, as well as the Lutwyche shopping strip on Lutwyche Road. It is also located near the emergency services complex on the former Queensland University of Technology Kedron Park campus. The Royal Brisbane Hospital is in close proximity, and there are a number of private and public schools in the immediate area. The suburb backs onto the Kalinga Park and Kedron Brook, which offer excellent open space, as well as walkways and bikeways. Wooloowin has excellent access to major arterials into the city, including the inner-city bypass. It is also handy to the Gateway arterial, which offers excellent access to the airport and the Gold and Sunshine coasts. Approximately 65 per cent of dwellings in the suburb are freestanding houses, with the remainder comprising units and townhouses. The majority of units and townhouses are located on the eastern side of the railway line. The area has changed demographically from retirees and older residents to young families and professional couples. Source: REIQ
