Bulimba Rent Prices in Brisbane 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
With a median of A$34/m², this suburb is the undisputed FINAL_BOSS of the local rental market. You are paying a massive premium for the 4171 postcode and the ability to walk to the cinema, but the m² stats show you get significantly less floor space than in nearby Morningside. From an investment outlook perspective, it is a fortress, but for renters, it is a high-cost environment where landlords rarely feel the need to negotiate.
The Vibe:Bulimba is defined by the Oxford Street retail spine and the constant churn of the CityCat ferry at the terminal. It is a high-density mix of massive riverfront renovations and pricey modern apartments where driveway space is at a premium. The crowd here is strictly professional, obsessed with lawn maintenance, and largely reliant on the ferry to avoid the Lytton Road traffic crawl.
The median rent price in Bulimba, Brisbane is A$34 per m² per month, 20% below the Brisbane city average of A$42.5/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Is the Bulimba Average Rent higher than Hawthorne?
Generally yes; the direct access to the Oxford Street precinct keeps Bulimba prices consistently at the top of the A$24 - A$52/m² range.
How bad is the parking for renters on Apollo Road?
It is a nightmare during peak ferry times; if your rental doesn't have a secure garage, you will be parking blocks away.
Does the Neighborhood analysis account for flood zones?
Yes, while the riverfront is the drawcard, smart renters check the BCC flood maps near the parklands before signing a lease.
Are the m² stats skewed by new luxury apartments?
The top-end A$52/m² figures are driven by high-spec, small-footprint units near the water rather than the older Queenslander houses.
What is the Investment outlook for 4171 rentals?
Extremely stable; low vacancy rates and high demand for the Bulimba State School catchment keep rental yields predictable but high.
