In addition to being famous for its rich cultural history and notable landmarks, this precinct of Brisbane is also celebrated for its distinguishable pulse of life and village style bustle. As one of the most central areas to the city’s business districts, this inner northern hub is respected as one the Brisbane’s most desirable places to live and invest in real estate.

Best defined by three regions: Portside, Racecourse Road and Sandgate Road, these regions are further divided into areas that are each characteristically unique. Dispersed throughout the suburbs are a multitude of attractions including galleries, theatres, dining experiences, night clubs and bars, boutiques and racecourses.

The area has the charming appeal of a European neighbourhood and a welcoming feel enhanced by 19th century buildings, quaint shops and tree-lined blocks.

The whole stretch of Hamilton and Breakfast Creek follows the winding bends of the Brisbane River. Dedicated parklands, which are ideal for relaxing and enjoying a sunrise or sunset, are dotted throughout this precinct.  Across the river from Rivé apartments is Newstead Park and the flowing connection of riverfront promenades leading toward Teneriffe and New Farm.
