Mysterton QLD 4812 · about 4 km from the Townsville CBD
Mysterton is one of Townsville's smallest suburbs, well under a square kilometre, with about 790 residents at the 2021 Census. It sits about 4 km from the CBD, wedged between Pimlico, Hyde Park and the inner south, and its size gives it a quiet, tucked-away feel despite the central location.
The homes are mostly older elevated and low-set houses and small unit blocks. Because listings are infrequent, buyers who want to live here often need to be patient and ready to move when something comes up, and sellers can find there are few direct comparisons on the market at the same time.
Castletown Shopping Centre and the Mater hospitals are only minutes away, Mindham Park is the local green space, and the city and the river are a short ride. Many residents work nearby at the Mater or in the CBD. As with other inner suburbs, buyers should check the flood history of the address and the condition of older homes.
