About Wishart
Welcome to Wishart
Wishart sits in Brisbane's southern suburbs, roughly 14 kilometres from the CBD and tucked between Mount Gravatt East, Gravatt, Mackenzie, Rochedale and Macgregor. It's a quiet, established residential pocket built around brick-and-tile family homes, leafy streets and a handful of local parks, with none of the through-traffic bustle of the busier commercial strips nearby.
With a population of 11,333 and a median age of 39, Wishart has long been a magnet for families and professionals wanting space, good schools and a settled community feel without giving up easy access to the rest of Brisbane's south side. It's the kind of suburb people tend to move into and stay in.
Lifestyle & dining
Wishart itself is more residential than retail, and much of its everyday life revolves around Wishart Village and the surrounding shopping centres that dot this part of the south side. For a bigger night out or a wider spread of cafes and restaurants, residents typically head into neighbouring Mount Gravatt East or the Garden City precinct nearby, both a short drive away. It's a suburb that suits people who want a peaceful home base with convenience close at hand rather than a strip to wander on foot.
Shopping
Local shopping needs are well covered by nearby centres in Mount Gravatt East and Mackenzie, while Westfield Garden City, one of Brisbane's largest shopping centres, is within easy reach for bigger retail therapy, groceries and entertainment. This proximity to major shopping infrastructure, without living on top of it, is one of the quieter drawcards of Wishart living.
Getting around
Wishart is well served by bus routes connecting through to Mount Gravatt, Upper Mount Gravatt and the broader Brisbane bus network, making it a practical option for commuters without direct rail access. The Pacific Motorway and Gateway Motorway are both accessible within a short drive, giving residents straightforward routes into the CBD or out towards the Gold Coast and Brisbane's outer south. The suburb's position near Rochedale and Mackenzie also means arterial roads like Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road are close at hand for getting around the wider south-eastern suburbs.
Schools & families
Families are a core part of Wishart's appeal, and the suburb is home to both Wishart State School and St Catherine's Catholic Primary School, giving local parents solid public and Catholic primary options within the suburb itself. Nearby Mount Gravatt East, Macgregor and Rochedale add further schooling choices, including well-regarded state high schools in the broader catchment, which has helped cement Wishart's reputation as a stable, family-oriented address.
Housing & architecture
The current listing mix in Wishart is dominated by houses, which make up 82% of stock, with townhouses accounting for 16% and apartments or units a small 2%. This reflects the suburb's classic postwar and 1980s-90s brick-home character, with generous blocks and established gardens typical of Brisbane's middle-ring southern suburbs. Renovated and rebuilt homes sit alongside original examples, giving buyers a mix of renovation projects and move-in-ready options.
The property market
Wishart's median house price currently sits at $1.17 million, following strong growth of 23.9% recently, a sign of the sustained demand for family homes in this part of Brisbane's south side. Median rent is $710 per week, reflecting solid demand from tenants drawn to the suburb's schools, space and access to major shopping and transport corridors. With houses making up the vast majority of stock and land relatively tightly held, Wishart continues to attract buyers priced out of inner-city options but unwilling to compromise on space or school zones, keeping competition for well-presented homes firm.
