Kingfisher Place in Kenmore tells a compelling story of Brisbane’s suburban evolution, from its humble beginnings to the tight-knit community it is today. In 1936, this pocket of Kenmore was largely undeveloped, with only scattered properties along what would later become Gem Road and Scenic Road — Kingfisher Place itself was yet to be established.
The street’s remarkable 95% owner-occupancy rate and average residency of over 17 years speaks volumes about its enduring appeal, with an impressive 78% of residents calling it home for more than a decade. This strong sense of permanence is particularly noteworthy given the area’s historical property values, exemplified by the 1998 sale of 8 Kingfisher Place for $89,000. Below, you will find an aerial image taken in 1936, offering a fascinating glimpse into the area’s transformation from sparse settlement to the established community of 20 properties it is today.
