Housing & Dwellings in Clayfield
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than half of the homes in Clayfield are flats or apartments, making it very different from the usual Queensland suburb. This shift towards smaller, higher-density living is reflected in a rental market that is far larger than the national average. It is an area where many residents rent or pay high mortgages rather than owning their homes outright.
