4502, QLD 4503, QLD

Postcode 4503 and postcode 4502 are neighbouring areas with very different layouts.

Renting is far more common here at 42.6%, and it takes much longer to reach the city, with a typical drive time of 92 minutes. In contrast, postcode 4502 is more compact and settled, with 86.4% of homes being separate houses and a typical resident aged 38.
