The housing spans several eras, from timber Queenslanders on stumps to brick homes built after the war and through the 1970s, with duplexes and unit blocks in between. Families are well served for schools, with Mundingburra State School, St Joseph's School, The Cathedral School of St Anne and St James (Prep to Year 12) and Townsville Community Learning Centre, a state special school, all in the suburb.
Lavarack Barracks is under 4 km away and the hospital about 3.5 km, so Mundingburra suits defence and health families who prefer an older, established suburb. Buyers look closely at flood history near the river and the condition of older timber homes.
