Kenmore has long been one of Brisbane’s best-kept secrets—a leafy, established suburb just 10km south-west of the CBD, offering a balance of affordability, lifestyle, and growth potential. But for buyers entering the market here, one question comes up time and time again: what does an entry-level home in Kenmore actually look like—and what should you expect to pay?
At Brisbane Buyers’ Agency, we’ve helped many clients secure well-positioned homes in Kenmore at the entry point of the market. Let’s unpack the recent sales data, suburb characteristics, and strategic factors so you can approach your purchase with clarity and confidence.
What is an Entry-Level Home in Kenmore?
In today’s market, an “entry-level” home in Kenmore is typically a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom post-war or early 1980s brick house on a 580–650m² block. These homes often feature a single-level layout, original or lightly updated interiors, and scope for value-adding renovations.
For families, the suburb ticks a lot of boxes: proximity to well-regarded schools, parks, and shops, all within easy reach of the city via the Centenary Motorway or express bus services. It’s the type of suburb where kids ride bikes to school, neighbours know each other, and weekends are spent at local sports clubs or the Brisbane River.

Why Kenmore is an Attractive Entry Point
- Lifestyle Appeal Without the Premium Price Tag
Kenmore offers the space and greenery of outer suburbs with the convenience of being just 10km from Brisbane CBD. At current prices, buyers are getting strong value compared to nearby Indooroopilly and Chapel Hill. - School Catchments
Kenmore State School and Kenmore State High are both highly regarded, adding to the suburb’s long-term desirability and underpinning demand from young families. - Renovation Potential
Many entry-level homes here have “good bones” and sit on usable blocks, making them perfect for extensions, modernisations, or even complete rebuilds in the future. - Capital Growth Outlook
Historically, Kenmore has enjoyed steady growth, with entry-level properties often seeing strong equity gains once renovated or simply held over time.
Strategic Advice for Entry-Level Buyers
- Be Ready to Act Quickly: Well-priced entry-level homes in Kenmore often attract multiple offers within days.
- Factor in Future Upgrades: Even if the home is liveable now, budgeting for cosmetic or structural improvements can help you maximise long-term value.
- Prioritise Location Over Cosmetics: Homes close to schools, transport, and shopping hubs hold value better—even if they need a little TLC.
The Verdict
For buyers seeking a balance of affordability, lifestyle, and growth potential, Kenmore’s entry-level market is a sweet spot. A 3-bed, 1-bath home here can offer you the lifestyle of a family suburb, the upside of future renovations, and a location that’s hard to beat for the price.
