Thriving Real Estate Scene

West End is home to a thriving real estate scene which is continuing to flourish. This inner-city suburb is comprised of family houses, units, high-rise apartment buildings and more. Just over half of West End’s residences are stand-alone houses while apartment buildings and higher density properties make up 37%. Although this suburb has an industrial backbone, it is currently undergoing an urban renewal which will see factories removed for upscale waterfront apartments. This urban renewal plan will also bring big changes to real estate prices and the economic make-up of the area. Prices have been increasing in recent years and will continue as the area goes through renewal. West End could be a great investment.

Culture

West End is often mentioned as one of Brisbane’s most successful multicultural suburbs. There’s a strong part of West End’s history which falls to the Greeks and there are many Greek food stores and restaurants that are waiting to be feasted upon. It has traditionally been known as the home to the largest Greek population. By 1980, it was believed that an approximate 75% of Brisbane’s Greek population lived in West End. Due to this strong Greek community, Musgrave Park holds the annual Paniyiri Festival, Australia’s longest running Greek festival. Musgrave Park has also hosted the annual fair day for the Brisbane Pride Festival.
