Welcome to Kelvin Grove
Kelvin Grove is one of Brisbane's most exciting suburbs. A stone's throw from the city and popular with students studying at the local QUT campus, what was once a sleepy suburb is now setting the benchmark for urban development.
The Kelvin Grove Urban Village is a modern village featuring studio units, deli precincts, the Creative Industries section of QUT, the Roundhouse Theatre and fabulous dining. There are weekly markets and a gourmet ice-cream shop - an essential outlet in Brisbane's summer months.
