Property prices soar in Brisbane's school catchment zones
A new property report by Domain has highlighted the best performing school catchment zones in Australia, with areas in Brisbane dominating the list.
The report measured median prices within school catchments over a 12-month period.
It found property prices in a majority of both primary and secondary school catchments rose significantly higher than their respective suburb, with families appearing to place more onus on secondary school placement.

The Bald Hills State School had the best performing catchment in Queensland, coming in at number three on the list.
Wynnum West State School came in fifth, followed by Rainworth State School in sixth position.
Ipswich Central State School claimed eighth spot, while Cannon Hill State School rounded out the nation's top ten.
"There are many school zones where house price growth was much higher than the respective suburb, but also much higher than the overall performance of Brisbane," Domain's Senior Research Analyst Dr Nicola Powell said.
"We did find that there were particular pockets in Logan and the Moreton Bay region where school zones had seen some extraordinary levels of house price growth."
