Furnished Townhousesin Fortitude Valley.

“Brisbane's night economy, on top of its fastest-growing apartment stock.”

Fortitude Valley sits immediately north-east of the Brisbane CBD and is the city's designated entertainment precinct — the only part of Brisbane with a dedicated special entertainment area, which is why live music runs later here than anywhere else in the state. The Valley splits into distinct parts: Brunswick Street Mall and Ann Street for nightlife, James Street for high-end retail and dining, and the Emporium and Gasworks precincts for newer apartment stock. It has absorbed a large share of Brisbane's inner-city apartment construction over the past decade, so furnished stock is plentiful and skews modern — one and two-bedroom apartments in towers with pools and gyms rather than converted houses. Fortitude Valley station puts the CBD one stop away and the airport around 20 minutes by train. Typical medium-term tenants are consultants and contractors on CBD projects, hospitality staff working the precinct itself, and people relocating to Brisbane who want to be able to walk everywhere while they work out where to settle. Chinatown Mall anchors the eastern end, and the Valley's weekend markets run along Brunswick Street.
