ASCOT SUBURB PROFILE

Ascot - 4007

General Overview

The Brisbane inner city suburb of Ascot sits around 7km north of Brisbane CBD and is considered one of the most prestigious of the riverside suburbs in Brisbane. Covering approximately 2.8 square kilometres, Ascot is an easy 15 minute drive to the city, and is historically known for its sprawling stately residences and “old money” sentiment. The Racecourse Rd village precinct with its bustling cafe strip of restaurants, shopping and retail stores forms the central hub of Ascot, and it is here where Ascotians meet for social catch-ups or perhaps an early morning pilates session followed by a latte. 

Ascot Lifestyle

There are 2 main community parks in Ascot – Oriel Park and Ascot Park which are frequented by young mums with bubs, and fitness enthusiasts. Both parks offer kids play equipment, picnic facilities and plenty of shade – a great place for birthday parties and family BBQ’s on the weekend. Residents enjoy a daily jog or walk along the recently upgraded Kingsford Smith Drive Riverwalk which connects Racecourse Road with the river and city. Turn left for more shops, eats and parks at Hamilton Portside or head right for your easy and scenic stroll to the city fringe.
