Fairfield is an area in Brisbane City, Queensland, with a landmass of 1.3 square kilometers. This suburb has 12 parks that occupy about 15% of the land area. Fairfield is a fairly small community with close to 3000 people. Although the area has grown in population over the last ten years by as much as 17.5% busy despite the growth, it still remains a very small residential community. As for the demography, the population is relatively young, with the predominant age bracket falling within 20-29 years of age. Also, many of the households in Fairfield are childless young couples. 

People who favor less expensive communities will like life in Fairfield. As a matter of fact, the low cost of living here is one of the main attractions for couples looking to start a family. The mortgage repayment bracket in Fairfield is between $1800-$2399 monthly, which is markedly lower than what homeowners in surrounding neighborhoods pay.  As of 2011, a kit 52.6% of homes in the area were occupied by owners, but the figure increased to 52.9% in 2016. So the current owner-occupier percentage as of today still revolves around that.

If you are looking to invest in horns in Fairfield, there are still opportunities you can exploit despite the small population. Homes in this part of Brisbane enjoyed huge capital gains of 12.2% over the last year, so there is room for even more growth heading into the future.  The rental market here is not the biggest by any stretch of the imagination, but investors still earn a consistent income due to the relatively stable demand for rental properties.

Fairfield is located in Brisbane City with a population of close to 3000. This area has an illustrious immigration history which began in 149 when the Grime brothers, Samuel and George Grimes, arrived in Queensland abroad a ship called The Chaseley. The ship was chartered by Dr. John Dunmore Lang. Nothing was heard about them until 1857 when they set up an arrowroot farm on the area which they called Fairfield.  

After establishing the settlement, the area began to attract settlers, gradually culminating in the setting up of the Fairfield Baptist Church on Christmas Eve in 1865. In 1914, a Railside Estate was established with 28 divisional residential lots on land bordered by Bell Lane, which is now called Bledisloe. Among the notable events that occurred in the area is the 1974 floods which affected the area and caused a partial evacuation of the area. Then in 2011, Fairfield suffered the same fate when it was affected by the Brisbane floods.
