  • New lots 2 lots 29 Markwell Street, Auchenflower
  • New lots 2 lots 37 Dixon Street, Auchenflower
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Dwelling unit neutralA minor owner-driven extension to a single existing dwelling unit in a high-density pocket of Auchenflower — effectively invisible to surrounding property values.
  • Apartments / use 3 units Townhouses (attached houses / multiple dwelling) neutralA minor first-floor extension to one unit of an existing 3-villa complex — too small to move the dial on surrounding values either way.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Pedestrian overpass footbridge accretiveA small, design-led hospital footbridge that quietly strengthens The Wesley precinct as a major health hub — positive for surrounding amenity, with the real density story sitting in the separate medical-centre approval across the road.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Apartments neutralMarcus Reid: a rooftop fit-out to two existing penthouses in a finished 15-storey tower. It changes nothing for the neighbours' values either way.
  • Apartments / use 22 units Apartments neutralThis is a compliance and fire-safety regularisation of balcony enclosures that have already stood on a 1981 tower complex for years; with no new height, bulk, units, parking or traffic, it does not move the dial for surrounding property.
  • Apartments / use 36 units Apartments + office + food and drink outlet (mixed use) mixedA 12-storey premium mixed-use building is exactly what this MU3 Eagle Terrace pocket is zoned for, so it lifts the precinct, but the bulk and the tightened 3 m office setback press hardest on the quiet Ridley and Grimes Street edges.
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Multiple dwelling unit extension (rooftop terrace roof) neutralA paperwork-grade correction to a single rooftop terrace roof in an existing unit complex — this does nothing to the surrounding street.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Duplex / attached houses (carport addition) neutralA single domestic carport bolted onto an existing duplex — no new dwellings, no added density, and zero measurable effect on surrounding property values.

Flood

Does Auchenflower flood? It's a street-by-street question.

A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.

Where we're straight with you
We hold the parcel-level flood overlay here.

Flood overlays for Brisbane are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.

What this tells you, and what it doesn't

A high owner-occupier share, paired with a professional resident base, is a demand signal: people buy here to live, not to flip. It says nothing about the specific street or block. The per-address report puts these residents next to the exact lot, its zoning and what is being built nearby.
