Welcome to Stafford Heights

This suburb is full of movie stars - well, the street names are anyway!

Movie buffs should love living at Stafford Heights on Brisbane's northside. There are Chaplin, Hepburn and Travolta Streets, to name just a few.

Most of the homes were built in the 1970s and 80s and some enjoy city views or large blocks. Stafford Heights is also home to Stafford Heights Retirement Community and there are two primary schools in the area.

Bushwalking is popular in the Raven Street Reserve across Rode Road. Incidentally Rode Road is pronounced Roady Road - another interesting street name!

The Prince Charles Hospital is nearby as are Stafford City, Chermside and Brookside Shopping Centres.
