Pimlico QLD 4812 · about 4 km from the Townsville CBD
Pimlico is a busy central suburb under 4 km from the CBD. Castletown Shopping Centre, with Coles and Woolworths, is here, as are the Mater Misericordiae Hospital and Mater Private Hospital, so many residents can shop and work within the suburb.
The housing is a mix of elevated and low-set older homes, unit blocks and flats, and townhouses and duplexes. That variety attracts hospital staff wanting a short commute, first-home buyers after a central address, and investors. Anderson Park botanic gardens are a local highlight.
There are no schools inside Pimlico itself (Pimlico State High School is actually in neighbouring Gulliver), but primary and secondary options are close by. RAAF Base Townsville and the airport are under 5 km away. Pimlico is generally higher than the riverside suburbs, and buyers mostly focus on the age and condition of the home.
