Fairfield

Fairfield is one of Brisbane’s best-kept secrets. Nestled between Moorooka and Dutton Park, the suburb offers a high quality of life just over 4km from the heart of Brisbane.

Partially bounded on the west by the Brisbane River, this tree-lined suburb boasts 11 gazetted parks and some of the city’s most attractive river frontage.

Because this suburb consists predominantly of single-lot houses, there is a scarcity of medium density accommodation to be found in the area.

Being so close to the centre of Brisbane is one of the big advantages of Proximity One. Not only is the development just over 4km from the Brisbane GPO, the Fairfield train station is only a short walk.

From Proximity One, rail commuters will be able to reach the Brisbane CBD, Southbank or Fortitude Valley in around 10 - 15 minutes. Or you can take a southbound train to the Gold Coast.

You’ll also love the convenience of being a short walk from the nearest 7-day Coles supermarket at Fairfield Gardens shopping centre. Fashionable food and shopping options abound at nearby West End and Stones Corner.

It’s also very close to many major employment hubs such as the Princess Alexandra, Mater Hospital and Greenslopes Hospitals. The University of Queensland, Yeronga TAFE and the CBD can all be accessed within a few minutes.

Partially bounded on the west by the Brisbane River, this tree-lined suburb boasts 11 gazetted parks and some of the city’s most attractive river frontage.

Stones Corner is famous for its cut-price fashion shopping and the Gabba regularly hosts international cricket and AFL. Both can be reached in minutes by car or bus.

All the sporting, educational and entertainment amenities of the University of Queensland are just a short ferry ride away, and if the proposed ‘Green Bridge’ at Dutton Park goes ahead (which is quite likely), Fairfield will become all-the-more attractive to people who work and study on this huge campus.

Because the bridge site is under 2 km from Proximity One, the Green Bridge offers huge benefits for residents of the Fairfield/Dutton Park region.

  • Convenient access by bus, bike or by walking (great for the exercise) to the University of Queensland would be likely to appeal to the more-than-38,000 students and staff who attend the university, adding greatly to the potential rental pool.

  • The Green Bridge would enables local residents to more easily access the many leisure facilities located within the university campus. These facilities include several cafés, a well-equipped gymnasium, two cinemas, squash/tennis courts, extensive parklands and numerous sports ovals.

Major attractions of the Fairfield area include:

  • A well-serviced public transport network including the City Cat ferry terminal at Dutton Park, city express bus routes and railway station at Fairfield.
