Calamvale has been recognised as one of Australia’s Hot 100 suburbs to watch in 2025, a prestigious list highlighting 100 suburbs across the country that are expected to see strong short- to medium-term price growth, based on key lifestyle, demographic, and economic factors.

Now in its third year, the list of Hot 100 Suburbs is compiled by REA Group (Real Estate Australia), which evaluates suburbs tipped for growth across the nation.
Why Calamvale Stands Out
Rich Harvey, CEO and Founder of Propertybuyer, nominated Calamvale for the list, describing it as a standout suburb with broad appeal.
“Known for its multicultural community and diverse housing options, the suburb has become a hotspot for both owner-occupiers and investors,” Mr Harvey said.
Located just 17.2 km from Brisbane’s CBD, Calamvale offers strong connectivity and convenience for locals. Frequent bus services, along with easy access to major arterial roads like the Gateway and Logan motorways, make commuting a breeze for residents.
On top of its excellent transport links, Calamvale boasts popular shopping destinations like Calamvale Central and Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, adding to the suburb’s appeal for families and professionals seeking convenience and lifestyle amenities.
A Community That Delivers
Calamvale’s population of nearly 18,000 reflects a vibrant, multicultural demographic, with the largest age group being 35 to 39-year-olds. The suburb is known for its mix of modern townhouses, established homes, and newer developments. Larger properties are particularly attractive for multi-generational living, a growing trend in suburban areas.
“With its strategic location, strong community amenities, and proximity to cultural hubs, Calamvale suits families, professionals, and investors looking for a thriving, well-connected suburb,” Mr Harvey added.
Real Estate Snapshot
The numbers tell an impressive story for Calamvale:
- Median House Price: $1,242,500

These figures, sourced from PropTrack, highlight the suburb’s strong performance and potential for both homebuyers and investors.

Whether you’re a family looking for a well-connected community, a professional seeking convenience, or an investor capitalising on strong returns, Calamvale offers it all.
