Markwell Street in Hamilton stands as a testament to Brisbane’s riverside suburban evolution, having been already well-established by 1936 and continuing to flourish through decades of modernisation. This Hamilton thoroughfare showcases the remarkable transformation of inner-city Brisbane living, balancing historical charm with contemporary development.
With an impressive 80% of properties being owner-occupied and residents staying an average of 12 years and 8 months, Markwell Street demonstrates strong community commitment despite being in one of Brisbane’s most dynamic inner-city locations. While 44% of residents have called the street home for more than a decade, the area continues to attract new families drawn to Hamilton’s riverside lifestyle and proximity to the CBD. The street’s property transaction history tells a compelling story of Brisbane’s real estate evolution, with units at 72 Markwell Street selling for as little as $60,000 and $68,000 in 1989 – figures that starkly contrast with today’s market values and highlight the extraordinary growth in Hamilton’s desirability over the past three decades.
