Suburb Profiles

Location: 5 km from CBD Due to its close proximity to the Brisbane CBD and its position alongside the Brisbane River, Yeronga has experienced very strong capital growth in property in the last five years. About five kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, Yeronga was one of the last riverside suburbs to receive a makeover and catch up with similar suburbs in terms of property prices. Yeronga is ideally situated and likely to attract buyers who want to secure attractive riverfront property. It is an area that is popular with families and professionals working in the CBD. Yeronga also has easy access to major arterial roads, schools, shops and other infrastructure so necessary for family and professional living. Yeronga is well located to many public and private amenities. The closest hospital is the Princess Alexandra Hospital (approximately five minutes.) The suburb has two primary schools and one high school in the area. It is also close to the University of Queensland across the river at St Lucia. There is a ferry and City Cat service from nearby Dutton Park. Major shopping is at Fairfield Garden Shopping Centre and street shopping is also available at Yeronga. Being near West End gives the suburb a convenient restaurant area close by. There are plenty of parklands, bikeways and access to the river at the Yeronga rowing club. A train station is located in the suburb and plenty of bus routes heading to the university and the City are available to residents. The ratio of houses to units is about 60 per cent to 40 per cent. There is no commercial development in the area – Yeronga is essentially a quiet leafy residential suburb. Source: REIQ
