Downsizers and rightsizers have dominated the new and off the plan apartment market in 2024.

The two camps, downsizers in particular, are the least impacted by the continued high interest rates compared to a first home buyer or investor, positioning them as a key target for developers. Most of the new apartment developments that have come to the market in 2024 have been large apartments that suit the size and budgets of a downsizer.

Many downsizers have built significant equity in their family homes over the years and are now looking to move into more manageable living spaces, while also securing funds for retirement.

But where are downsizers and rightsizers looking to buy?&nbsp;

In this article, we've looked at the most popular suburbs in Brisbane&nbsp;for both buyer demographics, highlighting some of the most popular developments in those areas.

<h2>Stones Corner</h2>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/stones-corner-qld-4120">Stones Corner</a>&nbsp;was only officially recognised as a suburb in 2017, having previously just been classed as a precinct in Greenslopes.

Since then the suburb has become popular among downsizers and rightsizers, with close proximity to the Brisbane CBD but a suburban feel to the suburb. The fully rejuvenated Hanlon Park, voted one of the best parks in Australia, has also been a major drawcard, as has the broader infrastructure boom geared around the neighbouring Woolloongabba due to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Taking advantage of the Stones Corner boom is longtime Brisbane developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a>, who are developing <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/stonebrook-stones-corner-10-flora-street-stones-corner">Stonebrook</a>, a nine-level, owner-occupier focused tower on the fringe of Hanlon Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114094 project_image_fid=223427]

The builder-developer, who is focusing on two, three and four-bedroom apartments in the building, is on track for an early 2025 completion of the development which will give its residents direct access to Hanlon Park, lined with walking and riding tracks and a natural waterway.

Stonebrook will be a short four-minute walk from Stones Corner Village which is set to be transformed by Stockwell into a thriving mixed-use village with a new retail and dining precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114094 project_image_fid=249477]

Demand in Stones Corner is expected to continue through 2025 with the likes&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/huon-property-group">Huon Property Group</a> wanting to launch their 114-apartment, Cleveland Street development, while up the road Peter Gartshore's Idec Group also have<a href="https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awr.rE7bOmFnQAIAV5wM34lQ;_ylu=Y29sbwNpcjIEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1735634907/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.urban.com.au%2fnews%2fqld%2fnew-apartment-development-approved-for-stones-corner/RK=2/RS=zFdBRPa0oegvriD.BllzA24i6KI-"> approved plans for a two-tower development with 226 apartments</a>.

<h2>Arana Hills</h2>

Outside of the city in Moreton Bay,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/arana-hills-qld-4054">Arana Hills</a> has proven popular among families, generally the rightsizer demographic, due to its family-friendly community, schooling, abundant parklands, relative affordability, and just 20 minutes from the Brisbane CBD.

Developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/jam-group">JAM Group</a>&nbsp;saw a gap in the market, a market which rarely sees new development, particularly in the townhouse community space.

The vertically-integrated builder-developer is crafting <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/nuovo-arana-hills-23-leslie-street-arana-hills">Nuovo</a>, 80 freehold townhouses on Leslie Street, near&nbsp;conservation parks and the Arana Hills Plaza.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141590 project_image_fid=226629]

Nuovo, meaning "new" and "fresh" in Italian, has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/ceccato-associates">Ceccato + Architects</a>&nbsp;to offer the privacy and individuality of a freestanding home, but without the upkeep.

Each townhouse is a separate dwelling with a freehold title, meaning no shared walls.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141590 project_image_fid=226631]

Construction of Nuovo is underway, with completion of the second and final stage slated for late 2026.

<h2>Rochedale</h2>

Known for its expansive green spaces and luxury houses, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/rochedale-qld-4123">Rochedale</a>&nbsp;has become a highly sought-after suburb for those looking to downsize.

Where previously opportunities to downsize locally were scant, townhouse developers have descended on the area south of Brisbane to offer a realistic option for those wanting to stay in the area but not in a large family home.

Its excellent connectivity to key employment hubs and the Brisbane CBD, along with the ongoing development of premium amenities, positions it as a top choice for individuals and families seeking a semi-rural feel with all the benefits of modern suburban living.

Rightsizers and downsizers have jumped at what national developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/metro-property-group">Metro Property</a> is putting together in the heart of Rochedale.

Their new development, Citrine, is already 60 per cent sold ahead of its construction completion in mid-2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273135]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/citrine-townhomes-rochedale-311-gardner-road-rochedale">Citrine</a>&nbsp;will comprise 90 three and four-bedroom townhomes, each either two or three levels, set in a community anchored by a central community area with a&nbsp;resort-style pool and barbecue and dining facilities.

Future upgrades to Rochedale Town Centre promise an even greater array of amenities for residents of Citrine, including a new supermarket, additional retail and dining options, and improved pedestrian access.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273134]

More development to uplift Rochedale even further is on its way. Developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/kinstone-group">Kinstone Group</a> has plans for a $380 million mixed-use, masterplanned community with new housing, expansive green spaces, retail, and a boutique hotel and tavern.&nbsp;

<img alt="Kinstone plot $380 million Rochedale precinct, Rochedale Terrace" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Rochedale%20Terrace%20-%20R03%20-%20V02.jpg?VersionId=pL6nB0WXHxCrFKMjuVMmwKnPihnKzrqo" />

It has been envisioned as a ‘new community heart’ for the suburb, linking a large new parkland with existing green space to create a walkable corridor that integrates recreation, retail, and residential—where retiree-downsizers can enjoy an active lifestyle with easy access to amenities and social opportunities.

<h2>Chermside</h2>

Gardner Vaughan Group again were one of the first developers to take a really good look at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/chermside-qld-4032">Chermside</a>, which has earned a&nbsp;reputation as Brisbane’s “mini CBD,” offering unmatched convenience and connectivity.

Home to Westfield Chermside, one of Australia’s largest shopping centres, extensive parklands, and with excellent transport links and proximity to employment and education hubs, Chermside is one of the most popular suburbs for downsizers and rightsizers.

Supply for this market had been limited, before Gardner Vaughan Group revealed <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/estilo-on-the-park-chermside-75-81-kittyhawk-drive-chermside">Estilo on the Park</a>, its three-stage development across the road from 7th Brigade Park, pitched as the very lark parkside location in Chermside.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100682 project_image_fid=186912]

Two of the three towers, Lujosa and Belleza, are both sold out, and the final stage Esencia, has just a handful of apartments remaining, ahead of its completion in early 2025.

Over 95 per cent of enquiry on Urban.com.au for Estilo on the Park has come from owner-occupiers since the project launched in 2024. More recently, as the two-bedrooms were snapped up, the next home buyers has emerged as the most dominant buyer demographic for the three and four-bedroom apartments that range from 182 sqm to 280 sqm, some of the largest apartments ever produced in the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100682 project_image_fid=186903]

Estilo Residents will also have access to a rooftop terrace with indoor and outdoor dining, in addition to several relaxation zones, a central outdoor pool, and landscaped gardens.

<h2>Milton</h2>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/milton-qld-4064">Milton</a> has transformed in recent years into a lively and dynamic suburb, appealing to foodies, outdoor enthusiasts, and city commuters with a new tranche of&nbsp;eateries and, breweries emerging in recent years.

Excellent transport links and pedestrian-friendly streets make Milton an easy and convenient place to call home, ensuring its appeal for those looking to downsize without leaving the energy of the city behind.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/kokoda-property">Kokoda</a>&nbsp;Property Group has been one of the most active developers in Milton in recent years. Their <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/ruby-ruby-milton-12-crombie-street-milton">Ruby Ruby</a> development is one of just a handful of true tower developments to have launched in the last 18 months, and with that came unprecedented demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139032 project_image_fid=232275]

Over 80 per cent of the apartments within the Crombie Street tower have sold, prompting Kokoda to add a further four levels to the building, resulting in 34 more apartments.

Amenities on offer include a rooftop infinity pool, thoughtfully landscaped BBQ areas and deck, floating daybeds, cabanas, a fire pit, private dining and bar space, a private cinema lounge, billiards room, versatile meeting rooms and a dog wash facility.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139032 project_image_fid=231171]

Prior to Ruby Ruby, Kokoda completed <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/the-ambrose-19-23-mcdougall-street-milton">The Ambrose</a>, which has just one penthouse left since its recent completion. The Ambrose has 174 apartments above two retail spaces.

Kokoda Property Group Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said demand far outweighs supply for new apartments within Milton and its surrounds.

The most popular Brisbane suburbs for downsizers and rightsizers in 2025

Joint Venture partners Keylin and Kinstone Group have revealed a collection of absolute waterfront villas at Lakeside, the fourth and final precinct at their 62-hectare Serenity 4212 masterplan near Hope Island.

Construction is underway on the 16 north-facing villas. They each feature four bedrooms, with some also having a pontoon and their own pool.

Adjoining the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/coombabah-qld-4216">Coombabah</a> Lakelands Conservation Area, Lakeside’s vibrant precinct plan is being finalised for the sales launch and is likely to include a mix of low to medium-rise apartments with sculptural architectural design, resident recreational amenities, open spaces, and commercial and retail amenities.&nbsp;

<img alt="Rare villas revealed at thriving waterfront community - slabs down" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="85c5c32f-e977-4c71-9e59-19c292a20e2d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lakeside_Slabs%20down.jpg?VersionId=788sTrmvzyuJO.c2gEfpv9aqop4uINOg" />

Adjoining the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/coombabah-qld-4216">Coombabah</a> Lakelands Conservation Area, Lakeside’s vibrant precinct plan is being finalised for the sales launch and is likely to include a mix of low to medium-rise apartments with sculptural architectural design, resident recreational amenities, open spaces, and commercial and retail amenities.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/keylin-group">Keylin</a> Managing Director Louis Cheung said Lakeside was a rare waterfront offering in the area with access to exclusive resort-style amenities when the precinct is complete.&nbsp;

“When the joint venture acquired Serenity 4212 in 2019, we knew the waterfront real estate and gentle density of the Lakeside precinct was unlikely to ever be replicated at the northern <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, in part due to some of the development’s original planning approvals dating back 20 years,” Cheung said.&nbsp;

“Lakeside’s north-facing villas are in a class of their own and designed to capture breathtaking views of the &nbsp;private Lake Serenity.

“Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/mas-architecture-studio">MAS Architecture Studio</a>, the villas offer spacious living zones to seamlessly blend the inside and outside, complete with high-end finishes, double-storey voids and entertainer kitchens, complimenting the unique natural surrounds of Lake Serenity and Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area."

<img alt="Rare villas revealed at thriving waterfront community - living room" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5b3a4fbf-3389-496f-b626-f544051f22ac" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lakeside_Living%20room%20render.jpg?VersionId=kd4_H8aMPH3Tr1pkdYgrjzP1nc4URXCD" />

Cheung said builder Resort Homes was a strong building partner to bring the Lakeside villas to life and kick-start the final piece of the Serenity 4212 master plan.&nbsp;

“Resort Homes has collaborated with us to finalise the design and building program for this architectural villa collection, which appeals to those looking for an off-the-plan opportunity with delivery certainty in a rare northern Gold Coast waterfront position,” Cheung said.&nbsp;

Located near the Hope Island Marketplace and Links Golf Course, Lakeside is minutes from hospitals, childcare and leading schools, including A.B. Paterson College.

Cheung said the location of Serenity 4212 was unmatched, as a peaceful and relaxing yet well-connected precinct.&nbsp;

“This high-growth northern Gold Coast corridor has really flourished over the past two decades and what we are delivering reflects the modern lifestyle aspirations and amenities that homeowners value,” he said.&nbsp;

“Residents at Serenity 4212 will soon benefit from the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/coomera-qld-4209">Coomera</a> Connector Stage 1 and Hope Island train station, both under construction and set to significantly enhance the area’s connectivity.”&nbsp;

The villas are due for completion by late 2025, and the collection follows the sold-out land release at Serenity Waters, completion of the award-winning Serenity Green townhomes, and completion of Serenity Reserve’s first townhomes and amenities, with the final townhomes under construction.&nbsp;

Keylin Managing Director Louis Cheung said Lakeside was a rare waterfront offering in the area with access to exclusive resort-style amenities when the precinct is complete

Keylin and Kinstone reveal final stage of Serenity 4212, Helensvale precinct

Developer Kinstone Group has lodged plans for a $380 million mixed-use master-planned community in Rochedale, 15 minutes south of the Brisbane CBD, delivering new housing supply alongside expansive green space, retail, and a boutique hotel and tavern.&nbsp;

Designed by award-winning <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/arkhefield">Arkhefield</a>, ‘Rochedale Terrace’ is situated at the four-hectare corner site at 46 West Street and 400 Miles Platting Road. &nbsp;

It has been envisioned as a ‘new community heart’ for the suburb, linking a large new parkland with existing green space to create a walkable corridor that integrates recreation, retail and residential. &nbsp;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/kinstone-group">Kinstone Group</a> General Manager, Tommy Hung, said the proposed master plan will be delivered in three stages over the next decade.&nbsp;

“Our vision is to create a vibrant and welcoming destination that celebrates the natural environment and brings people together,” Hung said.&nbsp;

“The first stage of Rochedale Terrace will deliver a contemporary mixed-use precinct that includes a variety of retail and dining options, a local tavern, and a 75-room boutique hotel, deliberately set back from West Street to prioritise the position of the new community park.&nbsp;

“The park is the heart of the precinct, from which the retail pavilion and residential buildings will take shape. It also provides an opportunity to rejuvenate the adjoining creek and connect the precinct to &nbsp;the broader community.”&nbsp;

Around 280 apartments will be delivered during the second and third stages of development, alongside additional retail and commercial spaces, outdoor pavilions and extensive landscaping for the benefit of the broader community. &nbsp;

“Rochedale Terrace will create more green shared spaces, retail and social precincts for the community to connect and will become a vibrant meeting place in years to come,” Hung added.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/rochedale-qld">Rochedale</a> is one of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>’s original ‘million dollar’ suburbs due to its large family homes and connection to the city and has been the focus of major public and private investment in recent years.&nbsp;

Hung said the Rochedale Terrace master plan responds to this growth with a ‘gentle density’ approach that provides much-needed housing diversity and retail, recreation and events spaces.&nbsp;

Kinstone Group is actively delivering several masterplanned communities in South East Queensland, including the 65-hectare Serenity 4212 master plan in Helensvale and the $1.5 billion Foxwell Coomera mixed-use precinct on the northern <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> – both in a joint venture with Keylin.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Kinstone Group General Manager, Tommy Hung, said the proposed master plan will be delivered in three stages over the next decade. 

Kinstone plot $380 million Rochedale precinct, Rochedale Terrace

Brisbane-based developer Keylin and joint venture partner Kinstone Group, have released its final collection of townhouses at its new gated Helensvale community, Serenity Reserve.

The final release at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/serenity-reserve-helensvale-1-lake-serenity-boulevard-helensvale">Serenity Reserve</a>, part of the&nbsp;Serenity 4212 masterplan on Lake Serenity Boulevard, comprises just 30 four-bedroom townhomes priced from $875,000.

They've been designed by both&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/modulus-architects">Modulus Architecture</a>&nbsp;and have been planned around&nbsp;extensive parklands, a state-of-the-art gym, and a resort-style pool, with a focus on spaciousness and harmony with nature.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135084 project_image_fid=208177]

The townhomes feature a seamless open-plan layout that blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, overlooking views of the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/coombabah-qld">Coombabah</a> Lakelands Conservation Reserve.

The kitchen is fitted with Smeg stainless steel appliances powered by natural gas, complemented by reconstituted stone benchtops.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135084 project_image_fid=208180]

Serenity Reserve is situated at the border of Hope Island and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/helensvale-qld">Helensvale</a>, at the heart of the 65-hectare Serenity 4212 bounded by Lake Serenity, Coombabah, and Saltwater Creeks.

The masterplanned residential community by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/keylin-group">Keylin</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/kinstone-group">Kinstone Group</a>&nbsp;clinched the 2023 UDIA Queensland Award for Excellence in Boutique Development last November.

With the first stage of Serenity Reserve, comprising 19 townhomes, now completed, construction has commenced for this final stage with completion and move-in expected by early 2025.

Final townhomes released in Helensvale's Serenity Reserve

The outer southern Brisbane suburb of Rochedale, known for its serene ambiance and picturesque landscapes, provides the perfect backdrop for Kinstone's latest development, Aluna.

The town and terrace home community is set to offer residents a harmonious blend of urban convenience and a serene lifestyle, with architecturally designed residences, generous living spaces, and luxurious inclusions.

Designed by CPO Architects, the townhomes and terrace homes feature large open plan living areas that create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, while high ceilings and expansive windows allow natural light to flood the interiors.

The kitchens are pitched as the heart of the homes, with engineered stone worktops, complemented by&nbsp;contemporary splashbacks, and adorned with a range of top-of-the-line European appliances.

Amidst a backdrop of tropical landscapes, Aluna residents will be able to take advantage of an array of resort-inspired amenity, including an infinity pool and a gym.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109132 project_image_fid=208176]

Nestled in an elevated location, Aluna also boasts an array of pocket parks interspersed throughout the community, providing residents with tranquil green spaces to unwind and connect with nature.

Just a 5-minute walk away, residents have access to a vibrant selection of cafes, restaurants, a Coles supermarket, and other retail stores.&nbsp;

Aluna also offers easy access to both Brisbane CBD and the Gold Coast. A mere 20-minute drive takes residents into the heart of Brisbane, while the Gold Coast is only a 45-minute drive away.&nbsp;

Aluna Rochedale offer four-bed terraces under $1 million

Soaring demand in all coastal Queensland markets is seeing developers fast-track their projects in an attempt to meet the continued demand from inter and outer state buyers.

The latest project to be fast tracked is in the $650 million townhouse development Serenity 4212, one of the largest waterfront projects currently underway on the Gold Coast.

The joint Helensvale venture between Keylin and Kinstone Group, adjacent to Hope Island,&nbsp;will see the third stage&nbsp;of Serenity Reserve brought forward after the sell outs of stage one and two, Serenity Waters and Serenity Green.

Serenity Reserve will comprise 83 townhomes each with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Designed by architectural firm DBI in conjunction with Modulus Architecture, prices for the townhomes&nbsp;will start from $548,000.

Serenity Reserve residences will sit next to&nbsp;a dedicated natural reserve community park, part of 27 hectares being gifted by Keylin to the city council.

The wider Serenity 4212 development&nbsp;is being created&nbsp;around Lake Serenity along the shores of Saltwater Creek.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The latest release is aimed at buyers looking to capitalise on existing government grants, including the state government first-home owner&rsquo;s grant,&rdquo; said Keylin&nbsp;director Louis Cheung.

&ldquo;Most of our buyers have been owner-occupiers, with many of them locals who are looking for the lifestyle and convenience of one of the best waterfront precincts on the Gold Coast.&rdquo;

Keylin fielded more than 3400 inquiries for the Serenity Waters release alone.

Keylin and Kinstone fast-track Gold Coast townhouse project Serenity 4212

The Brisbane-based developers Keylin Group and Kinstone Group has began construction on their waterfront homes and townhouses at the luxury Helensvale development Serenity 4212.

The construction commencement comes after more than $107 million in sales since the project, one of the Gold Coast’s largest waterfront land projects, launched 12 months ago.

Over 30 per cent of Serenity Green, part of Serenity 4212 comprising 60 architecturally designed town homes, have sold, with more than $12 million in sales in just four months following its market launch. 

Remaining town homes in Serenity Green are priced from $535,000.

The sales generated in Serenity Green add to the $72 million achieved through Serenity Waters – a collection of 110 waterfront blocks of land that back onto Lake Serenity and the Coombabah Wetlands Conservation Area.

Keylin director Louis Cheung said Keylin was keen to expand its residential and commercial portfolio in the northern Gold Coast growth corridor between Helensvale, Hope Island and Coomera.

“We are absolutely delighted that our range of residential offerings has been so warmly welcomed by the marketplace,” Mr Cheung said.

“Keylin, with our team of consultants, has worked very hard to create the most diverse residential options available within our projects and they have been very well received.

“It’s hard to believe that we have achieved so many sales in Serenity 4212 after only acquiring the waterfront site early last year and made so much progress across all our projects despite the challenges of the pandemic in 2020.”

Serenity Green’s town homes are positioned to capitalise on a growing market of discerning buyers seeking larger sized homes. 

“Demand for larger sized home is certainly growing, which in part is due to buyers spending more time at home during Covid. While the impacts of Covid-19 of the Gold Coast are subsiding, buyers’ desire to upsize their lifestyles certainly remains,” Mr Cheung added. 

Tony Ashwin, director of Ashwin Property which is managing the sales and marketing for Serenity 4212, said Serenity Green has been met with great immediate demand, particularly amongst the local owner-occupier demographic.

“Serenity 4212 is a unique, luxurious and well-priced offering and we’re witnessing great interest from the local community familiar with the great lifestyle on offer here,” said Mr Ashwin.

“There really isn’t much else on the market with the same level of offerings in a beautiful, private and idyllic location, so well-priced to meet the market.

“Demand for the larger sized home offering is certainly there. A lot of our buyers who don’t require all four bedrooms are converting the fourth room or the second living area into a home office which is ideal in a post-Covid working environment.”

A range of resident amenities will be on offer in the gated Serenity Green community including an outdoor recreation area with barbecque facilities and a large swimming pool.

Of the sales achieved to date, four first home buyers have taken advantage of $40,000 of government incentives – the $15,000 First Home Owners Grant and the $25,000 HomeBuilder scheme which ends this month.
