Oriel Road in Clayfield stands as a testament to Brisbane’s remarkable suburban evolution. Historical aerial photography from 1936 reveals a sparsely populated landscape, with only a handful of houses dotting what would become one of Clayfield’s most sought-after streets.
Today, this established thoroughfare boasts 129 properties, with a strong 70% owner-occupier rate and residents choosing to call it home for an average of 13 years and 7 months. This enduring community spirit is further evidenced by the fact that 46% of residents have lived here for more than a decade.
