Leybourne Street in Chelmer exemplifies the evolution of Brisbane’s riverside suburbs. Historical records from 1936 show only scattered properties along largely vacant lots, as evidenced in aerial photographs from that era.
Today, it stands as a tightly-knit community with 85% owner-occupancy and residents staying an average of nearly 12 years. The street’s transformation is reflected in its property values – a notable example being 156 Leybourne Street, which sold for $57,000 in July 1978, a stark contrast to current market values in this sought-after pocket of Chelmer.
