Balmoral, Bulimba and Hawthorne

The Balmoral, Bulimba and Hawthorne Lifestyle

The southern riverside suburbs of Bulimba and Hawthorne are characterised by sprawling parkland and the Brisbane River. Improved infrastructure and the spin-off benefits of urban-renewal projects have taken the once industry-focused suburbs and put them squarely into the ranks of Brisbane's most sought-after top 10

These suburbs lies in the shadow of the Brisbane airport. Inner Eastern Suburbs has a historical trail which was designed on behalf of the Pinkenba Community Association and the Port of Brisbane with help from Brisbane City Council Neighbourhood planning team. Numerous development projects were proposed for the area, including residential developments and an immigration detention centre. The suburb contains a small number of detached houses (primarily of weatherboard construction), local store, pub and industrial precincts. Life is cooler here — in both senses of the word. Inner Eastern Suburb is bordered on two sides by the Brisbane River, so afternoon breezes regularly chase the summer heat away. The homes here take advantage of the river-aspect, with the majority of homes having broad verandahs, balconies and bay windows. Renovated Queenslanders, colonial and post-war cottages and a few boutique apartment blocks all line the streets, nestled behind large jacaranda and fig trees. Inner Eastern Suburbs has everything you need for a great lifestyle — food, shopping, entertainment and fun for the entire family — all without leaving its leafy streets. Sure, you might have to force yourself to leave to go to work on Monday, but you’ll always be happy to come home
