Ascot and Hamiton
Prestigious suburbs that attract the wealthy
Ascot/Hamilton, Brisbane (6-10km east)
Darrrrrling! Chi Chi. Ascot and Hamilton are where the rich and upper middle class live in Brisbane. But being Brisbane, they're not exactly snobs-ville. Ascot and Hamilton are prestigious, old wealth suburbs with large homes, great city views, private schools, a well presented shopping village, professionals, executives and the Eagle Farm racecourse. No rif-raf here. OK yah!
Racecourse Rd is where the locals like to shop. It's an attractive village shopping strip in a street with large trees. There are some smaller houses in Ascot, but that's more of an anomaly than the norm. There are many renovated Queenslanders here too. Some of the houses in Hamilton are extraordinary and have fab views, security fences, expensive cars and people with huge bank accounts. This is private school territory. While both suburbs appeal to the upper middle class and families, not everyone here has kids.
