Morningside is a Brisbane suburb to the east of the City. It is located just 5 kilometres east from Brisbane’s central business district (CBD), or approximately 8 kilometres drive away. Much as other suburbs along the Brisbane River here, residents are able to enjoy the close proximity to the City. At the same time, they’re also able to take advantage of the community atmosphere that the suburbs afford. Morningside borders suburbs such as Cannon Hill, Norman Park and Hawthorne.

Due to its location and amenities, Morningside is great for independent youth, young couples, retirees and families who enjoy living close to the city while still enjoying the suburbs.

Demographics and housing style

Morningside is one of Brisbane’s old standing suburbs, where many of the houses date back at least 50 years. Currently, Morningside is largely made up of heritage-listed houses, older weatherboard or chamferboard style homes supported by wooden stumps. In recent years there has been an increase in the number of more modern semi-detached houses, duplexes, units and townhouses. The diversity of housing types makes Morningside suitable for almost anyone wishing to be close to the city but who prefer a more suburban lifestyle.

Like many older suburbs in Brisbane, Morningside has seen a great deal of renovation activity as workers’ cottages and Queenslanders are modernised or renovated.

A majority of residents are independent youth, young couples and retirees with a smaller percent of young families. The median age of residents is 35, which is 5 years younger than the national average. There are also an equal amount of female and male residents.

History

Before becoming a suburb, Morningside was an estate, which is where it got its name. Settlers used Morningside in the 1870’s for mostly agricultural uses, such as farming dairy and growing sugarcane. Morningside soon became popular as a residential area after the post war boom. It has since become a highly sought after East Brisbane suburb.
