We are proud to serve Red Hill and here we break down why.
Cosmopolitan living
Red Hill is a predominantly residential area set in hilly terrain offering a wonderfully convenient lifestyle for its young dwellers, who mainly fall into the 20-35 age group.
Households in Red Hill are primarily occupied by childless couples working in a professional occupation. Young families are the second largest demographic in the area, taking advantage of all this inner-city suburb has to offer.
All who live here benefit from its close proximity to the CBD and quick access to the popular surrounding suburbs, such as Paddington.
With a choice of beautiful traditional architecture and modern apartments, Red Hill offers dynamic style for its residents.
Worthwhile investment
Price trends in Red Hill continue to remain consistent, making it a clever spot
for investment.
On average, a 3-bed home will cost $850,000 to buy, or $575 a week to rent. Houses
don’t stay on the market long. In fact, a quarter less time than the national
average.
Red Hill will only continue to hold its own as one of Brisbane’s most sought after suburbs.
Well-connected
Waterworks Road and Musgrave Road connect here and provide the main thoroughfare.
Council buses 379, 380 & 381 run along here. The 378 is accessible from Arthur Terrace, and the 377 on Kennedy Terrace. Between the service you can reach any area across the city.

· Nature fix
Woolcock park serves the locals with their nature fix. This pretty outdoor space has public BBQ’s and winding bike paths, providing residents with an inner-city retreat to enjoy all year around. An annual fair is held in the park with lots of entertainment for visitors. The fair boasts a wine bar for the adults, rides for the kids and local artisan markets selling tempting and unique treats for all.
From here, cyclists can set off on a 7 km return trail. Just by crossing the little wooden bridge you’ll take a ride through wooded glades, passing by Ithaca creek on route before finally reaching Banks Street Reserve in Newstead. Once you’re there, you will find more walking and bike tracks that are well worth exploring.
