West End "village" typical street scene. Strict height limits apply, preventing overbuilding.

Brisbane' West End is an inner-city suburb of southern Brisbane.

The area's major attraction is its café and restaurant scene, as well as its shopping, which is centred along Boundary Street. It is also known for its high concentration of ethnic and organic grocery stores.

Davies Park on the riverside hosts one of the largest Farmer's markets in Greater Brisbane every Saturday between 6am and 2pm.

West End has an industrial backbone, in particular, along Montague Road down to Riverside Drive. Given the value of riverside property now that flooding is better managed, factories are now being sold to make way for upscale waterfront apartments.

West End is currently undergoing urban renewal, with an enormous change in real estate prices.

West End is in the catchment for Brisbane State High School, commonly referred to as "State High". State High is a partially selective co-educational facility that is recognised as Queensland's premier public school. State High's outstanding reputation means that many families buy or rent in the area, just to get into the school.

Weekly rents have risen by twice as much across postcode West End when compared to the recent inner Brisbane average.

Property is tightly held, with only limited number of resales at any one time. To put this in context, a search for properties for sale showed just 21 on the market in West End, compared to 154 in the Brisbane CBD.
