Vincent QLD 4814 · about 6 km from the Townsville CBD
Vincent is a quiet, inland family suburb about 6 km from the CBD, with around 2,210 residents at the 2021 Census. Its streets are mostly low-set brick homes from the 1960s and 1970s, with elevated homes, duplexes and small unit blocks, giving buyers a relatively affordable way into a central location.

Families have two schools in the suburb: Vincent State School, from early childhood to Year 6, and Townsville Christian College, from Prep to Year 10. A local shopping centre with Woolworths handles everyday needs, and Stockland in Aitkenvale and Warrina Shopping Centre are close. Cambridge Park is the main local green space.
RAAF Base Townsville is about 4 km away, which appeals to air force families, and the hospital about 4 km. Vincent is away from the river, but heavy rain can pond in low areas, so buyers check drainage and the roof fixings on older homes. Updated kitchens and air-conditioning help Vincent homes stand out.
