As stated by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland:

“Less than 4km from Brisbane’s CBD Hawthorne is one of Brisbane’s popular riverside suburbs that have undergone a transformation over the last 10 years. Many older homes in the area have been renovated to their former glory by couples and families moving into the area. The renovation of these older homes has had a positive influence on the median sale price of the suburb. Situated along Brisbane River, Hawthorne offers buyers proximity to the city with a suburban atmosphere.”

Hawthorne Park is popular with sports lovers while water lovers only have to travel a couple of suburbs to Colmslie Reserve in Morningside to be able to launch their boats onto the Brisbane River. Services in the area have adapted to accommodate the strong demand for property. City shopping and Cannon Hill Shopping Plaza offer the closest major retailers and complement local stores in the suburb.

Hawthorne doesn’t have its own rail station (the closest is Morningside), however regular bus services and CityCat ferry services departing from Gordon Scott Street ensure residents can access the City and other major centers easily. Residents are also reasonably close to the Gateway Motorway and the Southeast Freeway.

Schools in neighbouring suburbs including Bulimba Primary School, Balmoral High School, and Cannon Hill Anglican College complement Lourdes Hill College situated on the river and within the suburb’s boundaries. University students are also within 15 minutes of the Griffith University Campus at Morningside.

Hawthorne has recorded one of the strongest rises in median sale price over the last 5 years as buyers took advantage of its proximity to the City, its local amenities and once affordable prices.

The State Government has also produced a long term population projection for the southeast Queensland region of approximately 2 million people migrating into the area over the next 20 years. Of these, it is estimated that approximately 1 million people will settle within the Brisbane area. With this type of future projection, the demand for property can only increase over the long term thus making the Brisbane property market an attractive capital growth investment. The position of Hawthorne (being one of the top 10 Brisbane suburbs) and its closeness to the CBD and the vibrant Café precinct of Oxford St Bulimba, makes this development an ideal investment for those looking for capital growth in one of Brisbane’s premier suburb.
