9 Fishtail Street, Kirwan QLD 4817

Kirwan remains in demand because Townsville’s population growth, expanding public services such as the health campus upgrade and new police centre, plus solid rental returns keep investors and families focused on this affordable suburb with large blocks and convenient shopping/amenity pockets. Price momentum is still positive – median houses sitting around $605k–$615k have posted mid-to-high single-digit gains over the past six months as buyers chase a low-vacancy, 4.5–6% yield rental market. Risks include rising rates squeezing affordability and the area’s reliance on public-sector and emergency services employment, but tight new approvals locally and nearby land releases signal room for further upside for those locking in now.
