The suburb is well-connected to major transport routes — it lies near the junction of the Ipswich Motorway (M7) and the Centenary Motorway (M5).
Public transport access is available via the Darra railway station on the Queensland Rail City network, offering commuter access to the inner city and beyond.

Median weekly household income: ~$1,560 per week.
Owner-occupancy: In 2021 about 54.4% of homes were owner-occupied.

Housing & Households

Dwelling types: A mix of older detached houses (on reasonably sized lots) plus increasing townhouse/medium density development given Darra’s good transport links and growth interest.
Occupancy: A stable owner-occupier base but with a commensurable rental component; one source noted ~35.7% of occupants lived in rental accommodation.

Vacancy rate: One source reports vacancy near 1.15%, indicating a tight rental market.

Lifestyle & Amenities

The suburb benefits from its transport accessibility (both road and rail) which is a major draw for commuters.
Community profile: It is described as a multicultural, working-professional friendly suburb with investment interest good for capital growth.
Some portions include older housing stock (which may present value‐entry opportunities) and some newer infill/townhouse developments increasing choice.
Given its location somewhat further from the CBD than inner-ring suburbs, it offers better value while still being within Brisbane metropolitan reach.

Why Darra Might Matter for Investors & Home-Buyers

Strong growth potential: The recent high growth rates (houses ~19-20%, units ~20%+) suggest solid capital appreciation in recent years.
Value-entry relative to premium suburbs: Price points are lower than many of the inner-ring elite suburbs, offering upside potential in a growth phase.
Rental demand: Tight vacancy and moderate yields for units, combined with good transport links, support investor interest.
Connectivity & infrastructure: Major motorways and rail station give strong accessibility, which is often a driver for demand in outer-suburbs.
