Windsor is an established inner-northern Brisbane suburb, approximately 5.5km north of the Brisbane CBD. It covers about 2.8 square kilometres and combines traditional Queenslander housing with a substantial unit market. Retail and commercial activity is concentrated around Lutwyche Road and Newmarket Road, while Windsor also benefits from extensive parkland and convenient rail access. The suburb adjoins Grange, Lutwyche, Albion, Wilston, Bowen Hills and Herston.
Windsor had 7,811 residents at the 2021 Census, up from 7,013 in 2016, representing population growth of 11.4%. The predominant age group is 20–29 years. Childless couples account for 46.1% of households and couples with children 38.0%. Owner-occupiers represented 43.2% of homes in 2021. The suburb also has a strong professional profile, with professionals accounting for 37.9% of employment by occupation.
Windsor’s retail and commercial activity is primarily concentrated along Lutwyche Road and Newmarket Road. The suburb’s inner-city location also provides convenient access to the broader shopping, dining and entertainment options available in surrounding inner-northern suburbs and the Brisbane CBD.
Windsor railway station provides regular Queensland Rail services, giving residents convenient access to Brisbane and the wider rail network. Lutwyche Road is also a major transport corridor through the area. For buyers, proximity to transport can be a significant advantage, although properties close to major roads and transport infrastructure should be assessed for traffic and noise impacts.
Windsor State School provides government primary education in the suburb, while St Mary of the Cross School is a local Catholic primary school. Buyers purchasing for school access should confirm current catchment boundaries and enrolment requirements for the individual property.
Windsor contains 13 parks covering approximately 18.5% of the suburb. Downey Park is a significant local sporting and recreation area, while Windsor War Memorial Park and the nearby Northey Street City Farm add to the suburb’s open-space and community amenities.
Most residents commute to the Brisbane CBD for work. The Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital is also a major employer in the area.
Windsor’s elevated residential streets and pockets with attractive character housing can appeal strongly to owner-occupiers, particularly where properties combine outlook, quieter streets and convenient access to transport and amenities. Buyers should be more cautious around busy roads and lower-lying parts of the suburb. Windsor has a documented history of flooding near Breakfast Creek, so flood risk should be checked on a property-by-property basis rather than assumed from the suburb generally.
Almost half (44%) of properties in Windsor are free standing houses.
The suburb is particularly well known for its Queenslander style houses. These timber character homes were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A typical block size for this type of home is 600m2.
A local buyers agent in Windsor can help distinguish between properties that look similar online but have very different location, condition, risk and resale characteristics. Your Property Hound assists buyers with property search, appraisal, due diligence and negotiation, with particular attention to issues such as flood exposure, traffic and transport noise, property condition and comparable sales.

Cotality data shows Windsor’s median house value reached $1,740,580 in August 2026, up 16.1% over the preceding 12 months. The median house value has risen from $866,734 in August 2020 to $1,499,749 in August 2025.
Units have also recorded strong growth. The median unit value reached $876,326 in August 2026, up 13.3% year over year. For context, the median unit value was $390,893 in August 2020 and $773,624 in August 2025. While historical growth provides useful context, individual property performance will vary by location, building quality, land component, condition, and other property-specific factors.

The available supply-and-demand indicators point to limited stock. Stock on market is approximately 0.46% for houses and 0.96% for units, while vacancy rates are very low at 0.24% and 0.20%, respectively. Houses are taking around 42 days to sell, although insufficient data exists to report a reliable days-on-market figure for units.
The two markets have quite different rental profiles. Gross rental yield is about 2.5% for houses and 3.9% for units, while renters account for 34% of houses and 80% of units. Houses are recording an average vendor discount of around 7%; data for units is insufficient. There is also insufficient data to provide a meaningful auction clearance rate for either property type.
Choosing the right property in Windsor involves more than comparing bedroom numbers and sale prices. Location, flood exposure, road and transport noise, character housing considerations and the quality of the individual property can all materially affect value.
