Suburbs near QUT Gardens Point

This is a simplified first version. Proper commute times need a routing engine over the full transit timetable, accounting for transfers, waiting and how often services actually run — that’s real infrastructure this site doesn’t run yet. Instead, “transit access” here is categorical: direct train or direct bus/metro means at least one scheduled weekday service runs from a stop in that suburb to a stop near this campus without changing; transfer likely means the suburb has public transport but no such one-seat ride was found, so a transfer via the wider network is plausible but unverified; limited transit data means no GTFS stop at all was matched to that suburb. Distance is straight-line (as the crow flies), not a road or transit distance.

Rent. Median weekly rent for a 2-bedroom unit and a 3-bedroom house as at 2026-06-30, from the Residential Tenancies Authority’s quarterly bond-lodgement data — the same figures used on each suburb’s own page. RTA reports by postal locality, mapped to suburbs the same way as elsewhere on this site; a dash means too few bonds were lodged that quarter for a median.

Group household %. The share of occupied private dwellings that are group households — unrelated adults sharing — at the 2021 Census, the same figure behind the highest group-household ranking. Added as one more sortable column, not a new metric of its own.

Suburbs are capped to 30km straight-line from the campus. Default sort is transit access, then distance — the closest available substitute for “commute time ascending” while access is a category rather than routed minutes; sort by rent instead if that matters more to you.
