McDowall

Postcode: 4053 | Distance to CBD: 11 km

Welcome to McDowall

The large blocks and brick homes of McDowall reveal its history as a new sub-division of the 1970s and 80s.

In ground pools are as common as electric garage doors and many homes have been 'freshened up' for the new century.

The streets are named after movie stars so true fans of Barbara Streisand could live in 'her' street.

The Raven Street Reserve of McDowall is a forest in the suburbs, criss-crossed with bike paths and walking trails.

There's also the Downfall Creek Bushland Centre.

McDowall has private and public primary schools as well as the private North West Hospital and sits within 10 kilometres of Brisbane city.
