Kuraby is a suburb of Brisbane, situated 17 km
south west of the Brisbane CBD, and borders
the suburbs of Underwood, Stretton and
Runcorn. Kuraby is serviced by a train service
to Brisbane city and the Gold Coast, whilst a bus
service takes commuters to the large shopping
centres of Upper Mount Gravatt and
Springwood.

Kuraby has seen exceptional growth in terms of
its median house price growth in recent years
compared with neighbouring suburbs. The
main reason for this is the attractive
topographical elevation of the area, creating an
atmosphere of leafy bushland tranquillity. The
suburb has also undergone extensive
residential development over the last few years.

As would be expected the housing styles of the
newly developed areas of Kuraby are high and
low set brick and tile homes. There are still
some examples of older-styles houses – post
war weatherboard cottages left over from the
days when the suburb was first established.

The area is developing new infrastructure as
the community base increases. Presently the
suburb boasts a State Primary School and
Special School, a railway station that runs to the
City and south to the Gold Coast, it has a
shopping precinct with its main commercial
district being serviced by the nearby suburb of
Underwood.

Kuraby has a high proportion of home owners
compared with other south side suburbs.
