Brighton and Toorak of Brisbane?
- Thread starter accumulator
- Start date
Geographically, there is no analogue.
Maybe you mean relative to the type of people who inhabit Toorak and Brighton, in which case can you define those types?

Thanks for the info so far!!
I guess what I am looking for is the traditionally affluent suburbs of Brisbane.

You could do a rea.com search like this one that pulls houses on 600+m2 over $2m, then sort by suburb to see which has the most listings.
Laurel Ave. Chelmer
For "tradition" certainly Hamilton, Ascot.
If I had to go back there to live ( perish the thought!) "around Laurel Ave. Chelmer" would be the place. Old Queenslanders, big blocks, some down to the river, shady trees, very quiet, no through roads, train station, good access to city, good access to Shoppingtown, easy drive to Qld. Uni. etc etc. Noice !

Only digital?
This might not make sense. Bt with the richer suburbs wouldnt it bet better to buy as close as possible to them in a cash bracket you can afford? Bulimba was a rich area then all of a sudden it extended to Carindale, Mt Gravatt and Out wards all those suburbs grew in price as they were closest to Bulimba?
Does this sort of strategy work?

Kind of right Joyce. When you can't afford a hot affluent area, you buy the adjacent burbs, and wait from 6 mths to 6 years for the trickle out effect.
Mt Gravatt and Carindale are too far away from Bulimba to have been influenced by the latter's cg. Mt Gravatt had a bit of a boost from its rezoning to satellite commercial hub. Carindale has always had a fair share of big brick homes on reasonable sized lots close to a good shopping precinct and not too far from the cbd.
WW is right, Carindale is a fair distance from Bulimba.
Hawthorne river avenues is the top blue chip locale in the area (and perhaps the south side of Brisbane?). That trickes out to Bulimba (mainly south of Oxford St), Norman Park riverside/poets corner, some parts of Balmoral, etc.
I've always found it strange that you then take a little jump over Coorparoo to get out to Camp Hill Martha St area for the next blue chip spot. I guess the elevation has something to do with it.
Lisk St, Pullenvale is just divine, but not very well known (out on acreage)

My first thought is 'Toorak House' in Hamilton
I didn't even know it was called Toorak House.My first thought is 'Toorak House' in Hamilton
I see that it's privately owned; does anybody know who lives there presently?Same owners who bought it in 1995, can go into more detail but won't in a public forum.I didn't even know it was called Toorak House.
Unimproved value of the land is 12M
