Inner Brisbane New Builds 2026: Everton Park, Seven Hills and the Infill Opportunity
- 5 days ago
- 3 min read
Inner Brisbane new builds in 2026 are concentrated in infill suburbs like Everton Park, Seven Hills, and Milton — where townhouses and apartments are replacing aging housing stock within 5–10km of Brisbane CBD. Prices start from $750,000 for townhouses in Everton Park and Seven Hills, and from $620,000 for apartments in inner-city locations. BK Home Broker specialises in these infill opportunities with zero buyer fees.
Why Inner Brisbane Infill Is Different From Greenfield
Greenfield suburbs (South Ripley, Narangba) offer more land for less money. Inner Brisbane infill offers scarcity. When land within 10km of a CBD is largely built out, the only new supply comes from infill developments — knocking down older homes and replacing them with townhouses or boutique apartments. This scarcity premium means inner Brisbane new builds tend to hold value better and attract higher rents than outer suburbs.
Everton Park: Brisbane's Inner North Corridor
Everton Park sits 8km north of Brisbane CBD in the inner north corridor. It is one of the last suburbs at this distance from the CBD where house and land is still being converted to new townhouse developments. New 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhouses in Everton Park are priced from $780,000 to $920,000. Weekly rents average $700–$780 for a 3-bedroom townhouse, delivering gross yields of approximately 4.2–4.5%. The suburb has a Woolworths, local school, and easy access to Gympie Road and Sandgate Road.
Seven Hills: Value Close to Brisbane CBD
Seven Hills (also listed as Sevenhills in some developments) is 5–7km west of Brisbane CBD and offers a mix of townhouse and small-lot home developments. The La Maison project is an example of boutique townhouse development in this precinct. New builds in Seven Hills start from $750,000 and benefit from proximity to Kelvin Grove Urban Village, RBWH, and the Inner City Bypass. For buyers priced out of Paddington and Bardon, Seven Hills is the logical next corridor.
Milton: Boutique Apartment Living
Milton is an inner-Brisbane suburb 2km from the CBD, known as a café and entertainment precinct. Boutique apartment projects like Quartet (33 Manning Street) offer 2 and 3 bedroom apartments from $620,000–$950,000. Milton has strong rental demand from professionals working in the CBD and Spring Hill. Gross yields for 2-bedroom apartments in Milton average 4.0–4.5%. The suburb is walkable to Roma Street station, bikeways, and South Bank.
Who Should Buy Inner Brisbane New Builds in 2026?
Inner Brisbane infill is best suited for: Investors seeking rental yield near CBD with capital growth from scarcity. Owner-occupiers who want low-maintenance living close to work and lifestyle amenity. SMSF buyers (new builds often qualify for commercial borrowing terms in self-managed super). Downsizers from larger suburban homes who want to stay in Brisbane but reduce maintenance. First home buyers with higher incomes who prefer proximity over land size.
Stamp Duty and Grant Eligibility
New builds in inner Brisbane — townhouses and apartments — still qualify for the QLD First Home Owner Grant ($30,000 until 30 June 2026) if the purchase price is under $750,000. Properties above $750,000 do not qualify for the FHOG but may still access the First Home Guarantee (5% deposit, no LMI) if the property is under the scheme's price cap for Queensland ($700,000 for Brisbane from July 2024 onward — check current caps at housingaustralia.gov.au).

Are inner Brisbane new builds a good investment? Yes, particularly for capital growth. Scarcity of new supply within 10km of Brisbane CBD means well-located townhouses and apartments typically outperform outer suburbs over a 7–10 year hold period.
