Wilston

Postcode: 4051 | Distance to CBD: 3 km

Welcome to Wilston

Decades ago Wilston used to be a suburb a little on the seedy historic side. These days Wilston is a beauty that benefited from the property and renovation boom.

With a train station and the café strip of Wilston Village (along Kedron Brook Road), some of Brisbane's best real estate can be found here.

It's a well-to-do family suburb and there are high and hilly parts with many streets boasting city views.

There are great views of Brisbane from the bushy Eildon Hill Reservoir on top of the hill, only four kilometres from the city.
