Most homes are brick family houses from the 1980s and 1990s, with duplexes, units and newer homes in later estates. First-home buyers and investors are active here, alongside families wanting a solid home near schools. Thuringowa State High School and Shalom Christian College's Condon campus are both in the suburb.
Jabiru Park and the neighbourhood parks, the Riverway Drive parklands and the Ross River give Condon plenty of green space, and Willows Shopping Centre and Kirwan are a short drive. Some low-lying Condon streets near drainage channels were affected in the 2019 floods, so buyers should check the council's flood maps for each address.
