Parley Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 This sort of info is of interest to other members and shouldn't be hidden in a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Reedy Creek is supposed to be nice and Tallebudgerra. Robina and Varsity Lakes are also good areas. You may get more for your money if you go hinterland side of the highway though. I personally like Mudgerraba and Tallai so would head there, or further still to Clagiraba if i didn't have kids lol. Realestate.com wil give you a good idea to costs in the varying suburbs, so it might be a good start to spend some time on there and make a short list of suburbs you like and are affordable. Hope this helps a bit, you are a bit spoilt for choice,lol Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lp77 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Apologies for causing a problem but I asked via pm as HH had been previously helpful and previous queries on open forum have not been answered... I asked on open forum in hope I may get answers or... But seems to have cause more hassle. I know ppl gripe on here so I wanted an opinion from someone who had previously responded.....

No need to apologise at all. Parley was just saying (and I agree) that if everyone asked and answered via pm we wouldn't have a forum. This doesn't mean you can't send pms, on the contrary, it's just nice to share questions and answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 What about cheap acreage under $450k @calNgary You would need to go inland a bit to get acreage under budget. So would probably mean a change of schools. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp77 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 @calNgary thank u for your responses. We have bought land and I love acreage but wanted to be more central in short term whilst kids settle in. Don't know if I can be bothered with commute too far north hoping to drive a few suburbs around here.... Where ru based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Oh, we are at Flagstone about 50 mins from Nerang via Canungra so a bit of a trek albeit via nice country roads and both Hubby and Son make the commute 5 days a week. You get much more for your money stepping back from the coast but totally agree its too far for a school run. A few of the areas i mentioned earlier give you a more country feel than suburbia would ,so they may be your happy medium,lol have a good drive around.

kevpreston Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Pom Queens i just wanted to say I love this If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
