This article about Brisbane, Australia may not be on a technical list of the “best cities to live in the world,” but who makes those lists first? We would not want to build our custom homes anywhere else in the world!
So, whether you already live here and want to celebrate the Sunshine State’s capital, or you’ve been considering relocating, here are 9 reasons to convince you that there’s no better place to be than our little corner of the world here in southeast Queensland.
The weather of Brisbane, Australia is very beautiful
In the South East of Queensland, you can expect over 250 days of perfect sunshine per year. While the summer may take some getting used to (yes, it can get very hot), if wearing shorts and a shirt all year round appeals to you, Brisbane has you covered.

THE MOST SUSTAINABLE CITY IN AUSTRALIA.
Brisbane is a biodiverse paradise with over 2,000 green parks and over 2,500 plant species. If you need to be in the city but also need to spend time in nature, look no further.
It is the only city in Australia to be included in the Sustainability Cities Mobility Index! And, with great initiatives in solar energy as well as its spaciousness (Brisbane is Australia’s largest city by land area), it’s likely that this will only get better.

Brisbane, Australia is a safe city
If your family’s safety is important to you, this is the city for you. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Brisbane is still regarded as a large old country town. Brisbane is the seventh safest city in the world, according to BestCities.org, due to its low crime rates.
IT IS VERY CHEAP.
With Sydney as one of the world’s most expensive cities and Melbourne not far behind, Brisbane feels like a big, deep, sun-filled breath of fresh air. The cost of living is much lower, from transportation to housing to food (or those numbers on your screen, we should say).
However, where this is most beneficial is in property prices. While they have been soaring all over Australia, Brisbane’s have remained relatively calm. This is great news for everyone, and it also makes it a great place for students to live.

Brisbane, Australia has many top universities
When it comes to students, Brisbane has some of the best education in the world. The University of Queensland is Australia’s third best university, offering degrees in technology and the arts.
Furthermore, Queensland’s state school system has improved more than any other state in Australia. It appears that the rest of the world is catching on!
THE BEACHES
However, what about the east? This, however, warrants its own section.
The endless stretches of sand that make their way down to the Gold Coast are almost unbelievable. The water temperature is beautiful all year, and to demonstrate how important the beach is to Brisbanites, one has even been built in the middle of the city!
THE DIVERSITY OF HOUSING
This one particularly excites us, and we’ve written about it before. Whatever your ideal home looks like, chances are it already exists. And if it hasn’t already, there’s no doubt that whatever your home design is, there’ll be a perfect spot for it.
NORTHWEST, SOUTHWEST, AND WEST
While Brisbane is beautiful in its own right, it is also surrounded by some of Australia’s best attractions.
A couple of hours north, you’ll find the stunning Sunshine Coast, home to the Great Barrier Reef and some of the most beautiful natural scenery you’ll ever see. The Byron Shire’s rainforest delights can be found to the south. If you are willing to travel west, you will come across the famous red desert of Outback Australia.
