Toowoomba streets with the most million-dollar homes, according to RP Data

They’re the luxurious pockets of Toowoomba, home to the city’s most elite residents. The Chronicle has compiled hundreds of properties to bring you the 10 richest streets.

Toowoomba’s richest streets from the past 10 years have been revealed — and the list might surprise you.

The Chronicle has compiled data from a decade’s worth of residential property sales worth at least $1m in the 4350 postcode.

Nearly $330m worth of sales were recorded in that time, divided up into 236 properties that covers more than 100 hectares of prime Toowoomba real estate.

The sales were then tallied by street, with some common names occurring among the 100 listed.

The data shows an incredible concentration of wealth within just five suburbs — Mount Lofty, East Toowoomba, Redwood, Prince Henry Heights and Middle Ridge.

This didn’t come as a surprise to Snow Real Estate’s Brendan Mayles, who said the eastern side of Toowoomba was preferred by the city’s elites for a number of reasons.

“All those streets make sense, your key ones are Campbell, Arthur, Wirra Wirra and Sinclair Street,” he said.

“If you put all the addresses on a map, it would create a triangle around the escarpment, and all the properties are near the beautiful schools and parks.”

While Campbell, East, Bridge and Prince Henry Drive all show up on this list, a noticeable omission is Kara View Court — also known as “Millionaire’s Row”.

Mr Mayles said there was a good reason for this — properties on high-quality streets don’t change hands as often.

“There are streets and houses that would smash all records if they were put on the market, but they’re not moving from them because they have no reason to,” he said.

Other high-profile streets with less than five sales worth $1m include Wirra Wirra, Simla, Godfrey and Curzon Streets.
