Banyo is a residential suburb popular with families, students and long term older residents. There are also large sections of industrial land and warehouses in the south.

During World War II Banyo was one of several Brisbane suburbs with US army ordnance depots.

Today residents are well served with facilities including the Banyo train station adjacent to an established shopping precinct with bakeries, grocery stores, takeways, post office, medical centre and hair salons.

Near the station is the Memorial Park. Other recreational facilities include Banyo Bowls Club and Virginia Golf Course.

There are early learning facilities at Approach Road, St Vincents Road and Tufnell Road.

Earnshaw State College is the local school and a prep-to-year-12 (P-12) formed in 2003 from the merger of Banyo High and Nudgee State School which has been redeveloped as a housing estate.
