Arguably the district's best all-round quality: 5th-percentile violent crime, an established town centre and schools, relatively newer 1990s–2000s stock (lighter upkeep), 18.1% growth, and built-out Waraba-insulated scarcity.
3.2% yield and a thin 10% rental base mean contribution-funded holding, not income; rent growth is soft at 3.1%.
No rail (12–15 min to Ferny Grove), and while the ridge sits high, low South Pine-frontage streets flooded in Feb 2022 — the street decides the insurance.
A quality long-hold for a contribution-strong fund: the newer stock is the SMSF advantage here (fewer un-fundable repairs). Buy on the elevated streets and let growth, not yield, carry it.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ✓ Good | 13.5% compound over 5 yrs, 18.1% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Rental yield | ✗ Bad | 3.2% gross — heavy negative cash flow inside the fund — the growth has to justify it. PropTrack via suburb page |
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | The Eatons Hill ridge sits above the South Pine floodplain, but low river-frontage streets flooded in Feb 2022 (Watch-and-Act, residents told to prepare to leave) — street-dependent, check the address. Grokipedia South Pine River; Feb-2022 event (Moreton Daily) |
| Crime | ✓ Good | Among the LGA's lowest — violent 573/100k (5th pct), break-ins 216 (12th pct), MV theft 421, all far below QLD. OpenStats 2022–24 (QPS/ABS) |
| Infrastructure | ✓ Good | Established town centre (Eatons Hill Hotel/shopping precinct), schools, arterial road access; TPCH Chermside nearest tertiary hospital. Transport factpack; Metro North |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 89% owned / 10% rented, 91% family households — owner-occupier depth supports prices and resale; verify tenant demand separately (listings volume, room demand). ABS via suburb page |
| New supply risk | ✓ Good | Mature suburb; battle-axe/small-block infill only, no estates, Waraba-insulated. MBRC supply pipeline |
| Distance to rail | ✗ Bad | No station; ~12–15 min to Ferny Grove or Bray Park. Translink / Ferny Grove line |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ◐ Mixed | Predominantly 1990s–2000s brick — newer and lighter-upkeep than the district's 70s–80s stock, but still mixed-era. editorial — stock-age judgment |
