Property Near Ormiston Station: What It Means for Values
Ormiston station on the Cleveland line is 27km from the Brisbane CBD. Train stations are proven catalysts for property value growth, with research consistently showing a measurable premium for properties within walking distance.
The Station Proximity Premium
Research across Australian capital cities shows clear property value premiums near train stations:
| Distance from Station | Typical Premium |
|---|---|
| 0–400m (5 min walk) | 10–25% above area median |
| 400–800m (10 min walk) | 5–15% above area median |
| 800–1,200m (15 min walk) | 2–8% above area median |
