Average suburb that has one good point. It's close to the shopping centre. That's it.

Northern beaches start at Trinity Beach up. Smithfield is good for shopping. That's about it. Bunnings there too which is handy. Not the nicest of suburbs but okay.

Average suburb that is close to shops. Has a cinema now that is good buy shops are quite average. Used to have markets on Sunday once a month but gone now.

Just the perfect location. And 100% agree about the Canopys Edge area although its more in the $600,000 - $800,000 price bracket. Really just the perfect location especially with the new casino at Yorkeys Knob. I can see values here really going up

Centrally positioned just North of Cairns, Smithfield is within a 5-10 minute drive of all beautiful surrounding beach suburbs including Palm Cove and within 20 minute drive to Cairns City. Smithfield is also positioned at the base of the Kuranda range with easy access to the Tablelands. Pegged as the transport and infrastructure hub of the northern Cairns, Smithfield has an exciting future and offers a range of lifestyle locale options including:
- Newer estate areas including Smithfield Village, Northpoint and Canopy's Edge
- Established areas surrounding Smithfield Shopping Centre, James Cook University & Campus Village
- Acreage style properties within beautiful rainforest settings along the base of the range

Perfect Location just a short drive to beached and to the city of Cairns. At the foot of the Kuranda range its elevation means protection from any likely storm surge or tsnaumi. Great facilities and mainly families in the middle/upper income brackets. Its away from any potential crime hot spots associated with inner Cairns areas. Check out the Canopys Edge areas - $500,000+ homes good value

Smithfield is a community within the Cairns City Limits. It has excellent facilities, a great community spirit and provides a safe and happy environment for families.

Smithifeld doesnt have maany friendly people in it that i no of. ii have just movied here and no one has welcomed me or my family and the streeet that we are living in is quite feral. Dogs are barkiing all night and morning and it isnt a friendly place to live. but it has a wonderful big shopping centre and is surrounded by litle shopping centres. it has a nice big dog park aswell .

Smithfield is a fantastic area - just 15-20mins from the centre of Cairns, yet it has a safer and friendlier air about it. Only 5-10 minutes from a major shopping centre, schools, swimming pools, sportsgrounds, library, childcare, medical centres, gyms, public transport and the Beaches!!
At the foot of the Kuranda Range you're just 15mins from the village in the rainforest. Having lived in Kuranda for many years, finding a magic block in the foothills of the Macalister range in Smithfield has been wonderful. With all the peace and quiet of the rainforest, yet with every conceivable facility just minutes away!
There are numerous award winning restaurants nearby at the Northern Beaches. If you're up for a bit more lively nightlife, Cairns is just a short trip away.
We've found it a very safe area and many people enjoy walking here at all hours of the day and night.
Take a drive - Smithfield will surprise you with its diversity.
