Greenslopes Private Hospital
One of the suburbs drawcards is its proximity to the Greenslopes Private Hospital, and this is a major factor positively influencing Greenslopes real estate and bringing the median house price up. Having a hospital of this standard in the vicinity brings more jobs to the area, which has resulted in an increase of potential buyers, particularly those who work at the hospital and the older community looking to secure a property in the area.

Jamal Naouri, Real Estate Agent and Greenslopes Area Expert says when homes are being sold in the area, a huge selling point and positive to market is the fact the Greenslopes Private Hospital is close by.
“I recently sold 47 Newdegate Street, Greenslopes, and found that the main attraction to buyers was the fact that it was on the same street as the hospital. Many buyers that came through the property saw the potential for future growth because of the location. We had a Doctor interested in turning the downstairs area to a private clinic and taking advantage of the proximity to the Greenslopes Hospital,” says Mr Naouri.
