Tooth Avenue in Paddington stands as a testament to Brisbane’s evolving residential landscape, with its rich history stretching back to 1946 when only a handful of houses dotted the streetscape. The street’s remarkable transformation is evident in its strong owner-occupier presence, with 85% of its 65 properties being owner-occupied, and residents staying an average of 16 years and 5 months – a testament to the area’s enduring appeal.
Historical sales data provides fascinating insights into the suburb’s growth, with 44 Tooth Avenue selling for $43,000 in June 1979, a figure that starkly contrasts with today’s market values. Below the aerial photograph from 1936 reveals the street’s humble beginnings, while today it stands as a sought-after address where nearly half the residents have called it home for more than a decade.
