About Mount Stuart
Mount Stuart is a hillside suburb of Hobart, located on a ridge extending from a foothill of Mount Wellington known as Knocklofty. With a population of around 2,400 residents, it sits within the City of Hobart just 2 kilometres northwest of the CBD. The suburb has historical significance as traditional land of the Mouheneenner band of the South East Aboriginal Tasmanian tribe.
Mount Stuart offers elevated positions with panoramic views over Hobart and the Derwent River. The suburb features a mix of heritage cottages and modern homes nestled among native bushland. Residents enjoy proximity to Knocklofty Reserve for bushwalking, while North Hobart's popular restaurant strip is just minutes away. The area attracts families and professionals who value a quiet, bush-adjacent lifestyle close to the city centre.
