Oh the controversy: Brisbane attempts to name its favourite streets

Tough question.

Presumably you’d need to consider objective qualities like capital growth and distance to amenities but also subjective qualities like the sense of community and visual appeal.

You could survey the people that live there, interview town planners and analyse sales results over time.

Hmm, yes, tough question. Perhaps an impossibly tough question.

But this didn’t stop news.com.au attempting to answer it. So how did they approach this contentious task? By asking a bunch of real estate agents of course.

Twenty agents were asked to provide their top five streets which were scored and a master list was developed.

Is the result statistically significant? Hell no. Is the methodology open to bias? Hell yes.

But it’s a bit of a fun, so here they are Brisbane. Your top 20 best streets as randomly voted by a bunch of Brissie agents:

1. Sutherland Ave, Ascot
2. Laurel Ave, Chelmer
3. Virginia Ave, Hawthorne
