Hi Mae,

 

We have just moved to Wynnum and really enjoing it so far, looking to buy soon. Agreed you would be hard pushed to get what you want for $450k in Wynnum, thought there are plots near Wynnum North Station that you could look to build on to get what you want

Alternatively You could look to West Wynnum, Hemmant, Manly West that are not that far from the coast but a bit cheaper. Lota is also nice.

 

When we arrived we spend a couple of months staying in Brisbane Holiday Village in Eight Mile Plains. I found the bus connections to the city to be excellent, and my Brother who lives in a Northern suburb was really surprised how connected it was (there is a real North / South divide in Brisbane). You might find something in that area that is on budget but has the connectivity and also amenities that you would want.

 

Best of luck

Thank you ! In not really after the coast and was also thinking Manly West/West Wynnum. Are they nice and good suburbs ? at least they are not that far from the cbd and same as the coast for when my kids want to play there.

Hi, we moved here 3 months ago and been trying to find a suburb that will suit our family. i like Wynnum and Manly but im after a brand new house (3 bed,2 carpark, and a reasonable garden space) within 450k budget and it is impossible to gef it there.

We checked Redcliffe and its ok but quite bad traffic going to the city where my husband works and its already 50 min driving off peak hrs. North Lakes has the kind of estates that im after but it looks far too. . We went to Gold Coast today and realised that suburbs like Rochedale are not that far via M1.

If anyone can recommend their suburb and if its better stay North or South of the city. I have 2 small kids and hubby and i work in hospitality so hours can be really hectic. Also good school (catholic preferably) , daycare , safety and train are the priority in my list. Thank you

we moved to townsville dec 2015 straight from the uk and didnt think that we'll like it. asked a few people( foreigners) on our first few daysand was surprised that they loved if there and been there for years. then after a few months we loved it and 10 months from the. day we arrived, we bought our apartment, thats how much we loved townsville unfortunately due to our line of work, we just left last month to come here in brisbane but we kept our apartment as we know we love townsville and we will come back one day. check out riverview apartment, its in roaslea and you'll see why we got one. good luck

Hi,

 

To be honest there are so many suburbs within the 3-5kms range of the CBD that cover your requirements. Both Northern or Southern suburbs. Maybe look at New Farm, Teneriffe, Spring Hill Paddington, Auchenflower, Coorparoo, Norman Park, East Brisbane, West End. I could go on and on. Each of these are all great suburbs and would give you what you need. if you need how any further questions i'm happy to help.

hi, which of these suburbs would you say is the safest? and good primary catholic schools? hope you can help me as we are

moving at the end of the month and can only search online at the moment but need to decide on the suburb. with in 30 min travel time to stamford hotel. thank you

if you live in bulimba, how is it traveling with the ferry going to stamford hotel? is it better than taking bus/train? how about hawthorne which is just under bulimba? thank u

Hi,

 

I've read it's cheaper to use a MARA registered MA based in AUstralia, could anyone recommend a good one as there seems to be hundreds :huh: and a family member got stung twice by American based agents so don;t want this happening to me. :smile:

Hello, we used TSS for coming here on 457 visa but we applied 189 by ourselves as it cost too much

Have a look at the following areas near Carindale:

 

- Cannon Hill

- Morningside

- Seven Hills

- Coorparoo

- Norman Park

Is Morningside a safe and quiet suburb? i checked the houses and they look nice but read theres quite a lot of noise from aircrafts? thanks

Hi everyone, we are living in Townsville at the moment and will relocate to Brisbane at the end of the month. We have 2 kids (6 months and a 3 year old) so im really after a safe suburb, but hopefully within 30 min travel (commute) time to City Botanic Garden where hubby will work and he may work late at night. We were thinking as ive read in some posts these suburbs... teneriffe, bulimba, kangaroo point, new farm.I would appreciate all your advice/opinion regarding suburbs to choose or to avoid. Also worried about flooding so please if you can share your experiences would be great.

PS: Anyone knows about the suburb MORNINGSIDE? the area looks nice but ive read 24hr aircraft noise
