Residential, Apartment & House Cleaning Services in Newstead

Newstead is a riverside suburb of Brisbane, just three kilometers away from the Brisbane Central Business District that lies north of it. Newstead is a mix of both residential and commercial areas. The north-west portion of Newstead that is centered on Breakfast Creek Road is largely filled with commercial activities while the remaining areas are predominantly residential.

Newstead is a relatively new suburb, largely populated by young people, new couples and single persons. It’s not a surprise that you can find a lot of stylish cafés here, as well as exquisite restaurants. Most of the buildings have modern architecture written all over it, with the older houses being modernized and a couple of fresh studio apartments are being built, which is why Newstead is one of the most sought-after Brisbane suburbs. But the fact that Newstead is now an up-market suburb can largely be attributed to the History of the suburb when Newstead was predominantly an industrial area.

While in the suburb, if you wish to see a little past when Newstead was an industrial area, you can visit the Skyring Terrace which houses a tall iron structure of the No. 2 gasholder. An old “artifact” of Newstead Gasworks, this was the second gas works in Brisbane at the end of the 19th century. Another important landmark is Newstead House, the oldest surviving home in Brisbane and it is located on the bank of Breakfast Creek.
