Heatley QLD 4814 · about 8 km from the Townsville CBD
Heatley is an affordable, established suburb between Ross River Road and the Kirwan corridor, about 7.5 km from the CBD. Its homes are mostly low-set brick and block houses from the 1960s and 1970s, with elevated homes and duplexes. For first-home buyers and investors, Heatley is often one of the more accessible ways into the central-west of the city.

Schooling runs all the way through: Heatley State School covers early childhood to Year 6, and Heatley Secondary College Years 7 to 12. Families also use Heatley Park, Western Lions Park, the community swimming pool and the local junior rugby league club.
Townsville University Hospital is about 3 km away, and Stockland in Aitkenvale and the shops in Kirwan are a short drive. Many Heatley homes are solid but original, so buyers look closely at roofing, kitchens and air-conditioning, and sellers benefit from sensible presentation and realistic pricing.

Things to check
Heatley is generally away from the river, but low spots near drainage channels can hold water in heavy rain. Many homes predate current cyclone codes, so roof fixings deserve checking.

From a Heatley client
★★★★★
“We highly recommend Shelly, she is a warm, down to earth, no fuss person, who felt more like a friend than our agent. Our buyers were quite challenging, but Shelly took it in her stride, and helped us to stay grounded through the ups and downs of the process. She also went above and beyond to help us out with things that definitely were not part of a traditional agents job description. The personal touch that comes with a family run business makes all the difference.”
