Brisbane is a vibrant city, and it is easy to see why it was crowned the fastest growing city in Australia in 2023. If you live in and around Brisbane, though, you will know that finding a vacant block of land for sale is near impossible. A knockdown rebuild is often the answer: purchase an older existing house, knock it down and rebuild your brand new home in the location you love.

Why a knockdown rebuild
A knockdown rebuild lets you build your dream home in the location you love while avoiding hidden costs now and into the future. Rebuilds are usually cheaper and quicker than extensive renovations. So which suburbs should you be looking at?
Wavell Heights
Less than 10km from Brisbane's CBD, Wavell Heights is well positioned with schools, sports facilities and shopping precincts. Quiet streets combine beautiful Queenslander-style homes with modern designs, and parts of the suburb enjoy views of the city's ever-changing skyline.
Tarragindi
Home to plenty of amenities for families of all ages, Tarragindi sits less than 10km from the CBD with easy access to the M1. The Veloway, local cafes and parks are close by, and the suburb backs onto Toohey Forest Park for bushwalking and cycling.
Seven Hills
A blend of tranquility and urban convenience only 5km from the CBD and 20 minutes from Brisbane Airport. Seven Hills offers esteemed schools, shops, cafes and bushland trails within walking distance, and its hilly terrain rewards you with excellent views.
Alderley and Corinda
Alderley is a quiet, leafy inner-city suburb just 5km from the CBD, close to bike paths, parks, quality schools and the Alderley train station. Corinda offers scenic hilly areas with views of Mount Coot-Tha and the city skyline, its own railway station, local shops, schools and the Brisbane River nearby.
