Get a property report and suburb profile for any property in Holland Park

Holland Park is an established inner-south Brisbane suburb with tree-lined streets, gently rolling blocks and a mix of mid-century timber and brick homes alongside newer infill and townhouse developments. There’s a village feel around the shops and cafes on Logan Road, and pockets of green space and local sports fields for recreation. Regular bus services and arterial roads make the city and neighbouring centres readily reachable, so the suburb attracts long-term locals, young families and professionals who want a suburban lifestyle with urban convenience.

Holland Park is home to 8,671 people, with a median age of 37 and a median household income of $2,309 a week (about $120,100 a year). Families are the dominant household type and roughly two in three homes are owner-occupied (64.1%). Brisbane City Council is delivering local street-management works in Holland Park West and has proposed improvements for Glindemann Park, whose creek corridor was previously rehabilitated under the Norman Creek program. Whether that suits you comes down to what you’re looking for in a suburb.

Buying a house in Holland Park looks stretched against local incomes at the last Census. With a median house price of $1,579,175, that is about 13.2 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly household income $2,309). Rents sit lower relative to that income: a house rent of $750 a week would take roughly 32.5% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while a unit at $595 a week would take about 25.8%, a moderate share. On these figures renting appears less stretched than buying, though how that feels will depend on your own circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

The clearest movement over the past year is in house values, which climbed 12.7%, a strong rise in what a house in Holland Park is worth. House rents increased 4.2% over the same period, a modest rise, so on the houses side capital growth outpaced rental income this year.

Units showed a different balance: unit values rose 4.1%, a modest increase, while unit rents rose 8.2%, a solid rise. That means unit rental income grew faster than unit prices over the year. Which of those outcomes matters to you depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income.
