Real Estate
New Farm features great diversity in its housing. Being one of Brisbane's older areas, it contains many impressive Queenslander and colonial properties, many of which have been magnificently restored.
A few decades ago, New Farm became popular with developers for cheap apartment complexes, and a large number of small and medium apartment complexes are scattered throughout the area. Many of these older complexes are not particularly attractive, but there are some interesting art deco blocks to be found.
During the 1990s the area underwent a period of gentrification, and property development in the area quickly changed from budget apartment blocks to high end homes and luxury apartment buildings. This is especially evident along the riverfront, which features buildings full of $1m plus apartments.
