Chapel Hill is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia which is located 7km south-west of the Brisbane CBD. It is primarily a residential suburb, consisting of mostly detached housing. There has been a trend towards townhouse and small lot developments during the last decade. Chapel Hill is currently undergoing a 'major suburban renovation', with many of the original houses (built in the 1970s to 1990s) being demolished or renovated to make way for newer houses, or lot divisions. Currently, there are no apartment buildings in Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill has a large amount of bushland in and around it including Mount Coot-tha.
