Spring Hill Suburb Profile
One of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs, Spring Hill is a commercial and residential hub nestled within the boundaries of Brisbane CBD. Living in Spring Hill offers an eclectic mix of heritage architecture and access to public green spaces, allowing locals to enjoy an inner-city lifestyle with easy access to the vibrant culture of its neighbouring suburbs. The boundaries are blurred between Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley – both areas share a slightly offbeat, gritty identity. Bustling with small business activity during the week, Spring Hill has started to make its mark on the café scene, with quaint shop fronts scattered throughout its elevated streetscape.
Locals enjoy the area’s close proximity to generous parklands such as Victoria and Bedford Parks and nearby Roma Street Parklands, a popular spot for community events and family picnics. Living in Spring Hill also means that Gregory Terrace divides the built areas of Spring Hill from the large expanses of green spaces and is the address of some of Brisbane’s most sought-after schools.
One of the local gems is Spring Hill Baths. This beloved heritage-listed swimming pool provides indoor swimming facilities with a hint of old-school charm.
