Fernvale · Suburb / Locality
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost every home in Fernvale is a separate house, far exceeding the patterns seen across Queensland and Australia. This reliance on detached housing is matched by a very high proportion of large family homes. Most people here own their houses with a mortgage, though the number of outright owners is notably low.
