Newmarket Suburb Profile 

This transitional pocket of Brisbane is brimming with generous expanses of green public spaces and community sporting facilities, perfect for an active lifestyle within easy reach of the inner-city action of Brisbane. Living in Newmarket, residents enjoy Newmarket Road as the key thoroughfare in the area, connecting commuters through to main roads for swift access to surrounding areas and the Brisbane CBD. This bustling strip is also home to a local institution – The Newmarket Hotel. Beyond this commercial stretch of Newmarket, you’ll find quieter tree-lined streets, with family homes nestled on the bends of Enoggera Creek. Sharing a similar rural history and cultural identity with its neighbour Wilston, living in Newmarket boasts generous multi-use green spaces that connect to adjacent suburbs, creating a long expanse of parklands and walking paths. The Enoggera Creek Bikeway is bustling with cyclists and runners, and when the weekend comes, the sporting fields at Spencer Park and Holloway Field get a workout. Newmarket Village provides the locals with lifestyle amenities, and when they’re in need of serious café culture, they head to neighbouring areas, particularly the trendy, eclectic offerings in nearby Red Hill and Paddington.
