hi

i moved to nundah from oxford in november last year with my australian husband and 2 children. we chose it mainly cos like you we'd seen some reasonable townhouses on realestate.com.au and my husband has family dotted around this area too.

there's a decent supermarket here and a few shops; there's a decent fish n chip shop, a good thai place; noodle bar and a greek and indian place which we haven't tried yet.

it used to be seen as a less desirable place to live cos there's a centrelink office here (where people claim benefits etc) but prices here have gone through the roof now and it's sought after.

it takes 15 minutes by train to get into the CBD and the trains are pretty regular in rush hour tho they can get crowded. i often have to stand on my commute but as it's only 15 mins it could be worse.

you can also get a bus from nundah which takes you to chermside shopping centre which is huge. the bus takes about 10 minutes.

there are some nice parks in the area too and the schools are decent.

we rent a modern 3 bed, 2 bathroom townhouse for $350 a week which is pretty reasonable. the good thing is we don't have to pay for council tax or water so that saves money.

let me know if you want to know anything else about the area and good luck with your move
