5 Long Street, Clontarf QLD 4019
Charming Family Home on a 759m² Block - Moments from the Waterfront
Clontarf was one of the earliest areas settled on the Peninsula, initially used for timber and farming. The opening of the Hornibrook Highway in 1935 transformed it from a remote outpost into a popular seaside resort and eventually a residential suburb. The suburb saw massive post-war growth, leading to its current mix of mid-century cottages and modern industrial zones.
A dual-natured suburb featuring a scenic eastern coastal fringe and a bustling western industrial estate, attracting both young families and blue-collar workers.
How this suburb feels day-to-day.
Dominant dwelling stock.
Typical entry to ceiling.
Clontarf serves as the functional engine room of the Peninsula. It offers a unique value proposition where residents can live within walking distance of the beach while remaining close to significant blue-collar employment hubs.
$820k – $1.75m

12-month movement
Current asking rents
The price gap between Clontarf and Brighton (across the bridge) remains significant, providing a 'value' play for those willing to commute slightly further.
Price comparison
Median price ÷ median income
Estimated rental yield
While prices have risen, Clontarf remains one of the last coastal suburbs within an hour of Brisbane where a house under $900k is achievable.
Lower = tighter market
Avg time on market
Annual rental increase
Young families, tradespeople working in the industrial estate, and service workers.
Strong rental yields and low vacancies make it an attractive 'set and forget' area, provided flood insurance costs are factored into the ROI.
Expect steady growth as the Peninsula continues its transition from a retirement destination to a family-oriented coastal hub. Waterfront properties will likely outperform the broader market.
vs last 12 months
Relative comparison
Check specific street data; crime is often concentrated near the commercial strips and industrial borders.
The primary risks are environmental and economic, centered on coastal exposure and the suburb's reliance on the industrial sector.
High risk in areas east of Elizabeth Avenue and near the canal systems. Overland flow is common during heavy rain.
Negligible risk due to the urban and coastal nature of the suburb.
Expect higher-than-average premiums for properties within the flood overlay zones. Some insurers may decline cover for specific low-lying lots.
Coastal Hazard, Flood Hazard, Airport Environs (Brisbane Airport)
Subdivision of larger blocks (800sqm+) into two lots is common where zoning permits.
The Moreton Bay City Council is encouraging 'gentle density' near transport corridors, which may change the streetscape of central Clontarf.
Heavy reliance on the Ted Smout Bridge for Brisbane access; bus services are frequent but slow.
Excellent foreshore parks, boat ramps, and the Redcliffe Golf Course.
Pelican Park and the Clontarf Foreshore Park offer extensive walking and cycling tracks.
Clontarf Beach State High and Primary are the main local options; private options nearby in Kippa-Ring.
Close proximity to Redcliffe Hospital (approx. 5-minute drive).
A diverse mix of long-term residents and an increasing influx of young families and professionals seeking coastal value.
The aging population is being replaced by younger families, which is driving demand for modernised housing and local cafes.
Focus is on infrastructure and foreshore revitalisation rather than high-rise residential.
Residents love the outdoor lifestyle and the 'holiday feel' of the foreshore, though there is some frustration regarding peak-hour traffic over the bridge.
Walking the dog along the Pelican Park foreshore every morning is unbeatable. It's a great place to raise kids.
We couldn't afford Brighton, but Clontarf gave us a bigger block and we're only 2 minutes from the water.
The bridge traffic in the morning can be a nightmare if there's even a minor accident.
I've never had a vacancy longer than a week. The demand from people working in the industrial estate is constant.
The golf club is fantastic and the local shops have everything I need without going to the big malls.
Love the breeze, but the insurance costs for my street are getting ridiculous because of the flood maps.
Position the property as a 'coastal lifestyle gateway' that offers better value than Brisbane's northern bayside. Emphasise block size and proximity to the water.
Strong yield play with long-term capital growth driven by Peninsula gentrification.
High insurance costs and potential for climate-related value stagnation in high-risk zones.
Close to the beach and local jobs; generally larger yards than the city.
Older homes may have poor insulation; check for signs of dampness in low-lying areas.
Standard QLD rental reforms apply; ensure minimum housing standards are met by the 2025/2026 deadlines.
The 'Gateway to the Peninsula'—where the city meets the sea.
Young families moving from Brisbane's inner north and local tradespeople.
