Hyde Park QLD 4812 · about 3 km from the Townsville CBD
Hyde Park is one of Townsville's smallest suburbs by area, with about 1,370 residents at the 2021 Census, but it packs a lot into a central position about 3 km from the CBD. The Mater Women's and Children's Hospital is here, Castletown Shopping Centre is next door in Pimlico, and it's an easy cycle into the city.
Units and apartments make up much of the housing, alongside Queenslanders, older elevated homes and townhouses. That mix suits hospital staff, young professionals, downsizers and investors looking for a low-maintenance central property.
Hermit Park State School, despite its name, sits inside Hyde Park and covers the primary years, and St Margaret Mary's College offers secondary schooling for Years 7 to 12. McKimmin Park and Mindham Park provide local green space. For unit sellers, having body corporate details ready, and for buyers, checking the flood history of the specific street, are important parts of the process.
