  • Apartments / use 2-storey Multi-unit warehouse / low impact industry estate (Buildings 1-4, two-storey with ancillary office/administration) neutralIndustrial land being used for exactly what it's zoned for: a tidy new warehouse estate that should sit quietly behind its conditions, with little upside or downside for the wider neighbourhood.
  • Apartments / use 21 units Warehouse (strata industrial storage unit) neutralA 43 m² internal storage mezzanine inside one unit of an existing, completed Tennyson industrial estate — invisible from the street and immaterial to surrounding property values.
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Apartments neutralA single owner enclosing 23 sqm of their own balcony inside an existing riverfront apartment building — invisible to the street and to neighbours, with zero bearing on surrounding property.
  • Apartments / use Apartments neutralAn internal-only reconfiguration of one existing apartment — enclosing part of its own balcony to enlarge two bedrooms — with no measurable effect on surrounding property.

Flood

Does Tennyson flood? It's a street-by-street question.

A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.

Where we're straight with you
We hold the parcel-level flood overlay here.

Flood overlays for Brisbane are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.

What this tells you, and what it doesn't

A high owner-occupier share, paired with a professional resident base, is a demand signal: people buy here to live, not to flip. It says nothing about the specific street or block. The per-address report puts these residents next to the exact lot, its zoning and what is being built nearby.

Is Tennyson a good suburb? · answered by the data

The questions buyers ask about Tennyson.

Straight answers, built from the numbers on this page. We show the data and let you decide. Information only, not advice.

Is Tennyson a good suburb?

Tennyson is one of the busier suburbs in Brisbane's south for development right now, with 14 applications on the council register in the past year. On the policing side it stays quiet, only about 31 recorded offences in the year. Distance-wise it sits roughly 7 km south of the Brisbane CBD. Flood is a per-lot question here and we hold the parcel overlay, so check the exact address rather than a suburb average. That is the read from the data, not a verdict. The only number that truly counts is the one for the exact address, so check the lot before you fall for the suburb.

What is the median house price in Tennyson?

A typical house in Tennyson sits around $1.4M (2026). That figure comes from very few sales, so the data is thin, not accurate — treat it as a rough marker rather than a market rate.
