Features

Brisbane River frontage, close to Bulimba cafe district

About seven kilometres from Brisbane's CBD, Hawthorne is one of Brisbane's popular riverside suburbs that has undergone a huge transformation over the last 10 years. Many older homes have been renovated by couples and families moving into the area. The renovation of these older homes has had a positive impact on median sales prices in the suburb.

Situated along Brisbane River, Hawthorne offers buyers near-city living with a suburban atmosphere. Hawthorne Park is popular with sports enthusiasts, while boat owners only have to travel to Colmslie Reserve in Morningside to launch their crafts onto the Brisbane River.

Services in the area have adapted to accommodate the strong demand for property. Hawthorne has a small cinema complex, and residents are a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Bulimba's Oxford Street, which has a range of cafes and restaurants to choose from. City shopping and Cannon Hill Shopping Centre 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 ensure residents can access the City and other major centres easily. Residents are also reasonably close to the Gateway Motorway and the Southeast Freeway.

Schools in neighbouring suburbs, including Bulimba State School, Balmoral State High School, and Cannon Hill Anglican College, as well as 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 South Bank.

Hawthorne has recorded one of the strongest rises in median sale price over recent years as buyers have taken advantage of its proximity to the city, its local amenities and once affordable prices.
