An eclectic urban village, home to waterfront living and a fusion of modern and heritage architecture.

As far as Brisbane postcodes go, the neighbouring suburbs of Ascot and Hamilton are some of the most coveted in town. A story of old meets new, Ascot is steeped in heritage with old grand homes, large blocks of land with city views and Brisbane’s historic racing club, whose first race was in 1865. Meanwhile, trendy Hamilton is booming with new apartment towers that fringe the Brisbane River. Beneath them restaurants, shops and amenities have the area pumping with things to do.

This little corner of Brisbane is home to some of the best shopping, eating, and drinking around, and, perhaps not surprisingly, completed luxury apartments and residential opportunities are often few and far between. Hamilton is still in a growth phase with room for more variety when it comes to retail offerings.

This area of Brisbane is easily accessible by public transport. Catch the CityCat up to Brett’s Wharf and set about on foot to enjoy the two precincts of Portside Wharf, Hamilton, and Racecourse Rd, Ascot.
