Suziedoll Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi all me again! Looking some recommendations of areas to look at in Brisbane. I would really like a village feel with local shops and cafes and a park. Maybe even a local doctors. Somewhere that you can walk to from your house. Any ideas?

tina0101 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Depends how far out you want to be from Brisbane. The Bayside area is lovely - Manly, Wellington Point, Ormiston, Cleveland, Thornlands. All have cafes, shops, parks. I love living here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Have a look at the thread in QLD that Captain Roberto started. Has got comments on suburbs. Most suburbs have their own shops, at least 1 park, doctors, possibly dentist. Have a think about transport links too and how close you want to be to beaches/ CBD/ your place of work. Also depends on your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappuccino99 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 New Farm - village feel but close to City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelanieJS Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Definitely Bulimba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Bulimba is nice but if you dont want to be so close to the city ,take a look at Samford Village, a tad on the pricey side but a stunning place with a lovely little village center and some nice houses.

Peachy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Samford village would be my dream location. Beautiful views, beautiful houses, little shops, park, supermarket, schools. Just a bit too expensive for us and not on the train line (although does have a great new cycle path to Ferny Grove). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suziedoll Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Wow Bulimba and Samford Village both very expensive. Looking for somewhere that I could get a 4 bed house for about 450k dollars. Is this possible in brisbane? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It is possible but you would be looking at the not so smart areas or those that are a very long way out. The areas that we looked in the starting prices for 4 bed are $500,000. If you are looking at real estate do look at 3 beds as most have huge 'rumpus ' rooms and although not legal height would function as a guest room. With your budget have a look at Arana Hills, Keperra, Everton Park / Everton Hills. A long way out are places such as North Lakes but very estatey and packed with English families so not much of a cultural mix. When we located our chosen suburb went round all the streets using Google street view which was very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The best affordable village like suburb is Mitchelton but still that costs more than that budget. Could afford next door in Keperra but there's a lot of social housing there. I'd probably look at Ferny Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ferny Hills you would struggle to get 4 bed with that budget too! Agree re Keperra though - some nice parts but very mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ferny Hills you would struggle to get 4 bed with that budget too! Agree re Keperra though - some nice parts but very mixed. Sorry yeah Ferny Hills would be a 3 bedder most likely at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
