Breakfast gnocchi with mushroom ragu and bacon crumb, gingerbread waffles with cinnamon custard and honeycomb gelato, pork belly benedict. This and more awaits you in Hawthorne. (Thank you Sister Café on Hawthorne Rd for the fab brekkies!)
Residents of Hawthorne know a good thing when they see it. Trendy without trying too hard, Hawthorne is bordered by the river, Bulimba, and Morningside to the north. It’s a sweet spot that many have called home for decades.
‘Hawthorne will always be our favourite place to live.’
‘We’ve been here since 2009 – it’s the best inner-ring suburb for families.’
‘All our local shops are in a community environment rather than a big shopping centre.’
‘You know your neighbours; people are friendly and say hello!’
The local schools all have outstanding reputations. Choose from Lourdes Hill and Churchie for high school and it’s in the Norman Park State School catchment zone.
Fitness aficionados will love jogging along Hawthorne’s quaint (and sometimes hilly!) streets, and dance classes, F45, Pilates, yoga, and not to mention there are plenty of gyms to get strong if you prefer lifting weights, etc.
What’s not to love about this green suburb, so close to the CBD?
