New Farm Life Cycle

As seen in the Village News, November 2nd 2009

Residents of New Farm appreciate the trendy, inner-city suburb so much that they can’t bring themselves to leave the area.

New Farm is the Australian flagship for urban renewal, transformed into a bustling arts, dining and entertainment precinct, and, being just 2 kilometres from the CBD, New Farm is home to young professionals and empty-nesters alike. All Brisbane Realty receives a great deal of enquiries from individuals, couples and families already living within the area but looking for another property that suits their changing needs.
Just recently, All Brisbane Realty sold a local property that perfectly demonstrates the typical New Farm buying and selling cycle.

Jane Walker is an empty-nester who has recently completed renovations on her Kingsholme Street home, and put it on the market so she could buy another home to renovate.
“This is the third home in New Farm that I renovated, and am now looking forward to my next challenge,” Ms Walker said.

Ms Walker has been living in New Farm for six years and says she loves the area’s sense of community.
“It’s like living in a little country town. People are happy to talk to one another, and there is also a great dog park community that I enjoy.”

Her home has recently been bought by a professional couple, who in turn sold their New Farm home to a young local renter, keen to buy in the area.
Contemporary apartments are the predominant housing style in New Farm, but there’s are also a smattering of beautiful art deco homes and classic Queenslanders as you move away from the river.

The majority of households here consist of couples without children – over 60% - and nearly 75% of dwellings in the area are units.
