ABOUT US

These areas feature a remarkable selection of blue-chip properties as well as a wide array of attractive business, commercial, investment, development and lifestyle opportunities, at practically every price point.

R a diversity of property styles and price points, making entry into this premium location achievable for investors and owner-occupiers

Yet our region retains all the hallmarks of a distinguished, established, up-market address with its inviting, tree-lined residential streets that boast spectacular estate homes, stately Queenslanders, classy contemporary residences, stylish apartments as well as properties ripe for renovation, with ample commercial premises nearby.
Many of these properties have stunning river, city and mountain views or a fabulous outlook onto delightful green spaces and attractive residences.
Apart from being close to – or within easy access of – the city’s top private and public schools and within easy reach of the city’s top three universities, this area boasts a vibrant dining, shopping, recreational and cultural scene.
If you enjoy a stroll, you can easily take in a riverside walk. Care to browse through stylish boutiques, gift and dress shops? Then head to Racecourse Road or Portside. Perhaps you’d like to catch a movie in palatial surrounds? Then check out the Dendy at Portside.
Want that special something for dinner? Try the fruit shops, delicatessens, wine merchants and other specialty shops at either Portside or Alexandra Road. Just want a coffee or a bite to eat? Then there’s the delightful Racecourse Road or the nearby Brett’s Wharf and Portside precincts to choose from … and there are plenty more on the drawing board.
It’s just a short CityCat trip up the river to the city or South Bank Parklands to shop, dine, relax or do business. Or, in less than 10 minutes, you could be eating with friends in the swanky Oxford St precinct at Bulimba.
The area has plenty of sporting and recreational facilities: you can enjoy a day at the races at either of the city’s two main tracks, an evening at the nearby paceway, watch a game of first-class cricket, A-League football, or apply for membership at Queensland’s premier championship golf course (where Greg Norman first became famous).
Indeed, some of Queensland’s most interesting, informed and influential people choose to live and invest in our region and their wisdom is paying off handsomely. Most of our team members live here, too, so we have true, up-to-date local knowledge ready to put to work for you.
So, next time you are in Racecourse Road, step in to Harcourts Ascot and we’ll help you step up to the lifestyle you deserve. When you speak to one of our highly trained, dedicated team, we will help you identify opportunities whether you are buying, selling or leasing.
