The Locals

Home to some of Brisbane’s most renowned museums, galleries, and performing arts centres, as well as reputable medical facilities and educational institutions, this postcode-proud neighbourhood has established itself as a firm favourite. Living in South Brisbane means enjoying the South Bank precinct, which is known for its dining and bar culture, with some of Brisbane’s most notable chefs at the helm of top-tier eateries clustered along the river’s edge, many boasting unbeatable views across the Brisbane River and the city horizon. Away from the river’s edge, Fish Lane is an eclectic hot spot of eateries, bars, and cafés. This constantly changing strip also features a courtyard for food truck gatherings, product launches, and markets. 

From the day and night designer and lifestyle markets with live performances and gourmet food offerings on Stanley Street to the beloved Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), locals are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to entertainment. Add the generous public green spaces, meandering walking paths that hug the river’s edge, and the famous South Bank Lagoon, a man-made beach on the river’s edge, to the mix, and locals have very little reason to venture far from home. 

With no shortage of apartment living, many of which boast river views, South Brisbane still has small pockets of suburban living that push the boundaries into neighbouring West End and Woolloongabba. Although locals have access to world-class facilities on their doorstep, when they need to, they can access Brisbane’s CBD via the South Bank Precinct ferry terminal. 

A vibrant hub every day of the week, living in South Brisbane offers an unparalleled lifestyle for those who love to be amongst the action.
