A safe neighborhood. Not many units. Friendly people. I like the way there are 2 suburban cafes near me. One on main Avenue and the other on bilsen Road. They are cute and not surrounded by a shopping centre. That is unique. Good cycleways. Close to Chermside Mall. Close to Chermside Shopping centre-the best and many medical facilities.
Negative: it is quite expensive to buy a house in this suburb Negative. The area of Wavell Heights was originally known as West Nundah. At the time the road was a dirt track leading to the Edinburgh Castle Hotel, which was the stopping place for the coach travelling along the Old Northern Road to Gympie with the mail. Next to the hotel was a leather goods business of A. Dewar and Sons, He lived in Power Street for many years. Many early families gave their names to Streets and Roads in the district.
The Shaws lived in Shaw Park in a house across the road from the present day hockey field. The house was demolished in the war years. Rode Road was named after the Rohde family, but the spelling was changed.
In the Postmaster at Nundah decided the area was too large to handle, and it was decided to set up another suburb.
It become necessary to find a name for the new suburb, and submissions were called for. Wavell Heights was a popular choice polling votes to Gavin Hills votes. Field Marshall Wavell was contacted and gave permission for his name to be used.
Just a slight difference. If you love a quiet family atmosphere - Wavell Heights has it. There are plenty of parks including access to the Kedron Brook Bikeway and local wetland we call "the pond". This also creates a beautiful green outlook. Shopping is convenient with Toombul, Stafford and Chermside all in easy reach.
There are also local shops, cafes and restaurants at neighbouring Nundah. Access to the city and airport are also handy and travel time is less than 20mins. The elevation provides vistas of city and suburbs plus access to cooling breezes in Summer.
There are plenty of schools, both public and private, to choose from. All offer quality programs and many specialise in academic, music and sporting pursuits.
The best part of living at Wavell Heights are the fantastic neighbours. People are friendly, helpful and look after each other without intruding.
This is a suburb with lovely people and very convenient for shopping, school, childcare and easy access to City and Entertainment facilities. I love Wavell Heights because it is so close to everything. The cul-de-sac end of Bilsen Road is delightfully tranquil and safe. Every summer day I could enjoy the cool afternoon sea breeze.
So close to major shopping centres, and the city. Wavell Heights Rocks!!! Every time my husband and I have to go somewhere we always comment "I love where we live". We are so close to everything work, shops, city, airport and if we have to drive further afield we are always in awe of the poor people that sit in endless traffic every day. Welcome to Traffic Heights, imagine getting caught in peak hour traffic coming home form the city of Brisbane.
It could take you 40 minutes or so. With that and the cost of fuel being so high i would be living closer toward the CBD. If you work in the CBD and are locked into a 9 to 5 work period, then I can't think of any suburbs which would have much less traffic. Wavell Heights is no worse for this than anywhere else, and moving closer in will mean a more expensive house. Use public transport! One of the joy's of Wavell Heights is the amount of alternate roads that you can take that take you directly to the city without the bumper to bumper fuel consuming traffic.
Back Queensland Brisbane Wavell Heights. Great for Parks and recreation Schools Gym and fitness Medical facilities. Not great for No ratings yet. Who lives here? The opinions expressed within this review are those of the individual and not those of Homely. Looking for a home in Wavell Heights? Known as West Nundah, letter deliveries apparently became confused, and in the local progress association agitated for a new name. The rest of West Nundah was farming, mostly pineapple growing and dairying.
Shops were opened along Rode Road and a Neighbourhood Society was formed in It concentrated on a site donated by the Council at the corner of Edinburgh Castle Road and Fourteenth Avenue, installing an ex-army hut for a local hall. Ultimately a memorial hall, kindergarten, bowling greens and Scout and Guide facilities were built there. War Service and Housing Commission homes were built, along with private sector estates.
New schools were opened:. Recreation areas were laid out on the Kedron Brook swamp lands, but similar proposals along Downfall Creek did not eventuate; there is a linear park at the back of more recent housing estates near the creek. Residents have neighbourhood shops, and regional shopping is at Chermside and Toombul, each equidistant from Wavell Heights.
