Surrounded by the Brisbane River and just minutes from the CBD, Kangaroo Point offers one of Brisbane’s most convenient inner-city lifestyles.

The suburb is predominantly apartment living, with a mix of modern high-rise developments, established apartment complexes, townhouses and a smaller number of traditional homes. Many properties benefit from elevated positions, river views or city outlooks, particularly around the riverfront and cliffs.
