Mount Louisa QLD 4814 · about 9 km from the Townsville CBD
Mount Louisa is a large family suburb on and around the hill of the same name, about 8.5 km from the CBD, with around 9,230 residents at the 2021 Census. Its higher streets have views over the city, and the walking tracks on the hillside are a favourite with locals.

The housing ranges from family homes of the 1980s and 1990s to newer hillside homes with views and elevated houses on sloping blocks. Buyers include families wanting an established suburb close to everything, and air force families: RAAF Base Townsville is about 4 km away, one of the shortest commutes to the base from a family suburb. Calvary Christian College, from Prep to Year 12, is in the suburb.
Mount Louisa's shops and supermarket cover daily needs, Willows Shopping Centre and Kirwan are a short drive, and Col Campbell Park and the neighbourhood parks provide green space. Hillside homes are more exposed to wind, so buyers look at roof fixings and trees, while lower areas near creeks should be checked on the council's flood maps.

From a Mount Louisa client
★★★★★
“From the moment we got Shelly, to sell our house, she kept us informed all the way. Shelly also gave us great advise. She is very knowledgeable in what she does. We were expecting to sell for around $300,000, but she got us a price way above this. With her help we had one open house, and the house was sold in a week. I would recommend her to anyone who was selling”
