Commentary As the name implies, Carina Heights is a more elevated suburb than its neighbour Carina. Approximately 7.5 km from the Brisbane CBD to the southeast, Carina Heights is an older suburb of Brisbane that was settled in the 1940s and 1950s.

Surrounded by the neighbouring suburbs of Camp Hill, Carindale, Mount Gravatt and Tingalpa, Carina and Carina Heights are thriving Brisbane suburbs that have seen good growth over the last five years.

The housing styles in this suburb are a mixture of mainly post-war weatherboard, older Queenslander homes with sweeping verandahs and a smaller selection of post-war chamferboard homes. There are more brick and tile homes in this suburb compared with Carina.

Many of the suburb's older-style housing commission homes were sold to mostly young first homebuyers who proceeded to renovate. This has increased the price of these types of houses in the area.

Community infrastructure in this area is more than adequate with a major hospital only 10 minutes away. There are primary schools located in the area including St Martins Catholic Primary, Whites Hill, Carina, Belmont and Camp Hill. High schools include the Camp Hill Cavendish Road and San Sisto High Schools. Griffith University is nearby as is the Mt Gravatt TAFE (Moreton Institute of TAFE).

Shopping facilities include close access to the large and successful Carindale shopping centre, smaller shopping centres in Carina, Belmont and Mt Gravatt East. The suburb has many walk and bikeways, parks, waterways, and includes the Clem Jones sports facility complex, housing many sports fields for the local community.

The suburb has access to very good bus transport and its nearest railway station is in nearby Tingalpa - 10 minutes drive away.
As the suburb has been established for some time, there is little vacant land left for either residential or commercial/retail development.

According to the 2006 Census there were5,761 people living in the suburb with a median age of 36. The median individual income was $500 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 55.9% were either fully owned or being purchased; 39.4% were being rented.
