Fernvale is quickly emerging as one of South East Queensland’s most attractive growth pockets, driven by families and investors seeking affordability, lifestyle, and space without compromising access to major centres.

Located around 20 minutes from the centre of Ipswich, Fernvale continues to benefit from population growth, infrastructure upgrades and increasing demand as buyers are priced out of inner Brisbane and Ipswich suburbs.

From an investment perspective, the Somerset Regional Council area is rapidly transitioning from an overlooked hinterland to a compelling regional growth corridor, driven by rising housing demand, population increases, and major infrastructure investment.

Median house prices and land values have climbed sharply, reflecting tightening supply and growing buyer interest.
