Chapel Hill is a suburb of Brisbane,
Queensland, Australia which is located 7
kilometres (4.3 mi) west of the Brisbane CBD.
Chapel Hill is primarily a residential suburb,
consisting of mostly detached housing and is a
leafy affluent area backing on to the Mt Coot-
tha reserve and walking tracks. There has been
a trend towards small lot developments during
the last decade.
Chapel Hill is currently undergoing a 'major
suburban renovation', with many of the original
houses (built in the 1970s to 1990s) being
renovated and updated with a few being
demolished to make way for newer houses, or
lot divisions. Many of the original houses are
architecturally distinctive designs from the late
1960s/early 1970s and typical of the Chapel Hill
and Kenmore area. Currently, there are no
apartment buildings in Chapel Hill. Despite it
being a short commute to the Brisbane CBD,
Chapel Hill is green suburb full of old eucalypts
and native plants and is set on hilly bushland
terrain that leads to Mount Coot-tha which is a
protected reserve.
