Downsizing involves moving to a smaller property, while rightsizing focuses on finding a home that aligns perfectly with current life circumstances—whether that’s a different suburb, a single-storey house, or a more suitable layout.
According to property site Urban, Stones Corner has emerged as a top choice in Brisbane for both downsizers and rightsizers.
The suburb’s rise in popularity is no surprise. Its proximity to Brisbane’s CBD, combined with its rejuvenated public spaces, makes it an attractive choice for those seeking a lifestyle change.
The Allure of Hanlon Park and Infrastructure Growth
Officially recognised as a standalone suburb in 2017—previously part of Greenslopes—this neighbourhood offers a unique mix of urban convenience and suburban charm.
Hanlon Park, for example, has undergone a complete transformation, now featuring scenic walking and cycling paths alongside a natural waterway. Named one of Australia’s best parks, it’s a key drawcard for residents and visitors alike.
It’s also set to benefit from the broader infrastructure boom around Woolloongabba, driven by preparations for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. These developments are creating a vibrant community atmosphere while enhancing local amenities.
Stones Corner is also catching the eye of developers keen to cater to this growing demand. Gardner Vaughan Group is leading the way with Stonebrook, a nine-storey, owner-occupier-focused apartment building that directly connects to Hanlon Park.
Meanwhile, Huon Property Group has plans to launch a 114-apartment development at 22 Cleveland Street, ensuring a steady stream of high-quality housing options for the suburb’s growing population.
