The Neighbourhood
Diamond Cove & the Bow River Valley
Tucked between the Bow River to the east and Bow Bottom Trail to the west, Diamond Cove is a small estate community of roughly 700 residents. Construction began in 1989 and the community was officially recognised in 1991 — long enough for its streets to grow into the full, mature tree canopy that defines them today.
A single dedicated entrance off Bow Bottom Trail means no through traffic, and homes are almost entirely owner-occupied — one of the city's most stable and tightly held addresses, served by the Queensland/Diamond Cove Community Association.
