Hendra is a predominantly family-oriented suburb 6km north-east of Brisbane’s CBD. It features Queenslander-style architecture, wide streets and well established gardens.

There are plenty of restaurants and eateries including cafés, take-away shops and pubs. Toombul Shopping Centre is the nearest major shopping centre. There is also a variety of local shops on Junction Road and Sandgate Road.

Public transport services are nearby, with the northern train line running through the area. There are also regular bus services to and from the CBD. Brisbane’s domestic and international airports are easily accessible by car or the new Airtrain. Apart from some light industrial and commercial lots, Hendra is zoned 'residential A', therefore all residential properties are houses.

Leisure activities are well catered for, with the Doomben Racecourse, parks, bike and walkways. Kedron Brook runs through Hendra and has walking and biking paths running alongside.
