Property Management Specialist – New Farm

In profile: New Farm 

New Farm is considered one of Brisbane’s most sought after suburbs for investors, renters and owner-occupiers. Positioned only 2KM from the Brisbane CBD, with the river on its doorstep, it’s not hard to see why New Farm regularly ranks in Brisbane’s top ten suburbs for both residential sales and rental prices. New Farm is brimming with character and charm, boasting landmarks such as the New Farm Powerhouse which houses one of Brisbane’s best restaurants, Bar Alto. Just up the road, the Merthyr Village shopping precinct features an exciting range of dining and entertainment options (including the New Farm Deli Café which is a vibrant local family owned business with delicious food and outstanding coffee). One of Merthyr Village’s highlights is the annual New Farm Deli long lunch, a traditional long table feast paired with delicious drinks, fantastic company and authentic music and dancing. The Village also houses supermarkets and all the amenities needed to make life easy (Coles, Australia Post, medical facilities, the original American restaurant, The Smoke BBQ restaurant and Savour Cafe to name a few).

Extensive local amenities

Only 3km from the Brisbane CBD and just next door to the Fortitude Valley precinct, New Farm boasts our prized New Farm Park and Brisbane River walk. The perfect location to entertain friends and family and get your daily exercise in beautiful surroundings. 

New Farm boasts easy access to high quality private schools (including St Josephs College Gregory Terrace, Brisbane Grammar, All Hallows and Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie)) and public schools (New Farm State School, Kelvin Grove College and the soon to be constructed Fortitude Valley State Secondary College). Bus and ferry systems are at the door and provide quick, easy access to precincts including the CBD, Fortitude Valley, Woolloongabba, Teneriffe, Bulimba, West End, East Brisbane and St Lucia.

 

New Farm Property Management yields

Rental properties in New Farm see positive rental yields. Typically, apartments can yield between 4.5 and 5%. For example, a two bedroom two bathroom apartment in New Farm valued at $550K can return between $500 and $550per week in rental, which is a very strong return on investment, particularly considering what sets New Farm apart from other suburbs is the value that lies in the future capital growth. Obviously, it is important to keep in mind that yields are affected by a range of factors, some of which include at the present time the current pandemic and whether an apartment is air-conditioned as we head into summer. 

New Farm has a variety of high quality property for owner-occupiers and investors alike, from classic Queenslanders, to brand new luxury apartments ideal for downsizers, to older style well priced investment apartments. This diversity makes New Farm a fantastic suburb for living and investing!
