Smaller burbs can create a sense of exclusivity, particularly where the boundaries or property types are clearly defined.
But for the most part, suburb boundaries may as well be invisible in real life, so you may be surprised to learn the different sizes of Brissie’s burbs.
Our smallest suburb is Petrie Terrace at just 0.3 square kilometres. Known for its quaint Queenslander cottages and terraces, this is an exclusive enclave just a stone’s throw from the city.
Further afield, suburbs like Kalinga and Gaythorne are small by boundary, but big on popularity.
