The suburb grew along the old tram line in the 1920s and 1930s, so there are plenty of timber bungalows and Queenslanders. Many have been raised and built in underneath, with large rear extensions. Newer homes on slab sit beside them where blocks were split.

Local things to know
Camp Hill sits mostly on high ground, so river flooding is not a major concern, but overland flow and drainage on sloping lots still matter. Check the Brisbane City Council Flood Awareness Map for the exact address.
