Isabella Plains was gazetted in 1975, but its name goes back to an early European expedition, when a party guided by Joseph Wild named the country Isabella's Plain after the daughter of Governor Sir Thomas Brisbane. The suburb took the name with a small change of spelling, and its streets are named after New South Wales parishes. The shops at Ellerston Avenue and Galloway Street have a small supermarket and a chemist and share a car park with the neighbourhood centre. The R5 rapid and local routes 78 and 79 stop in the suburb.

Roughly three in four Isabella Plains dwellings are separate houses and nearly all the rest are townhouses or semi-detached homes, according to the census, with three-bedroom layouts the most common by a clear margin. The suburb was settled from the mid-eighties, so a home here can be at the age where kitchens, bathrooms or heating need attention. Townhouses in a complex share outside upkeep through the owners corporation, while a house leaves the roof, gutters and garden with the owner.

The R5 rapid service, the everyday shops and neighbourhood centre, and road links along Isabella and Drakeford Drives bring renters to Isabella Plains.
