Stafford Heights is 10.2 kilometres (6.3 mi) north of the Brisbane GPO by road. Stafford Heights is generally hilly, and has one major waterway, Downfall Creek. Stafford Heights is north of Stafford.
Stafford Heights is named because it is on higher ground than its neighbouring Stafford. The Heights name was used locally as a neighbourhood name from the 1950s, but it became a gazetted suburb in 1975. Stafford was a name adopted by local consent in 1885–1886, after Staffordshire in England.[4]
A small part of north-east Stafford Heights is part of Paramount Estate, a plan which involved naming the streets after the last names of actors at around the 1970s. The majority of Paramount Estate lies in McDowall.
