Yeronga: The serene riverside Brisbane suburb that's more than doubled in value in five years

Enveloped by the Brisbane River as if to shield it from urban sprawl, Yeronga flourishes as a serene suburb that enjoys nature’s embrace with its many parks and riverside pathways, while being mere moments from Brisbane’s CBD.

Affectionately called a village by those who dwell there, Yeronga’s charm lies in its tight-knit community and secluded ambience.

Better yet, the homes here are magnificent, ranging from classic Queenslanders on leafy streets to grand residences straddling the riverfront.

A heartfelt return to roots

LJ Hooker Annerley principal Jane Elvin is a third-generation resident and understands Yeronga’s ability to draw back those who grew up here and want to nurture their own families in its idyllic setting.

“This tradition of staying or returning to Yeronga speaks volumes about its magnetic appeal,” Elvin says.

“Between its great schools, easy access to Queensland’s top universities, and first-class sporting facilities, it’s the quintessential environment for family life.”

The suburb’s property market is indicative of its desirability. According to the latest Domain House Price Report, its current median house price is $1.607 million – a dramatic increase of 104.8 per cent over the past five years, and 22.2 per cent up in the most recent year alone.

“Yeronga’s strategic location, encompassing efficient transport networks and proximity to essential services, plays a key role in its investment appeal,” Elvin says.

“This is further magnified by the anticipation surrounding the upcoming Brisbane 2032 Summer Olympics.”

Community bonds brew success

Farah Obeid and Anton Hudak are partners in life and business. They own the beloved Baladi coffee trailer on the Brisbane Corso and say their loyal customers enabled their recognition by The Coffee Commune as Brisbane’s best cafe for 2023 among almost 900 contenders.

“When we imagine buying our future home, it’s difficult to envision anywhere but Yeronga,” Obeid says. “As immigrants without immediate family members in Australia, we’ve found a sense of home here thanks to the local community.”

Sharing her appreciation for fellow local businesses, Obeid highlights foodie gems like Italian restaurant Osteria Epoca and Thai restaurant Yim Thai.

She also points out The Paint Factory as a true hidden gem in the form of a creative cultural hub.

“Being part of what makes Yeronga so special is such an honour,” Obeid adds.

“We’re currently tirelessly transforming a double-decker bus, which we purchased in Adelaide and drove all the way back to Brisbane – a new cafe-restaurant soon to grace the area.”
