Brisbane’s Virginia is profiled in the “Better Know a Suburb” series. Virginia can be broken down into about 40 per cent light to medium industrial and 60 per cent residential houses with a few townhouse developments mixed in.
With close access to employment the area has become a mix of young and established families and retirees. While few bargains can now be found in the area, it is not uncommon to see current residents upgrade their homes.
