Anyone living in The Gap/Ashgrove, Brisbane
Hi all,
We are currently living in Brisbane CBD and are looking at areas to buy a house in a few months. There are so many places to choose from, we're looking at the pros and cons of each area, of which there is always loads of both!
We like The Gap and Ashgrove areas and wondered if anybody who lives in these areas could tell us what the drive to the CBD is like in the morning? (Before we drag ourselves out of bed extra early to check it out!)
Cheers,
Southgate

Re: Anyone living in The Gap/Ashgrove, Brisbane
I'm in Clayflield, and The Gap, is about 3 miles from me.. but I can see into it.. as we speak.. lol
it takes me, 10 minutes, after 9am, to get into the city
just asked the OH, and he says, probably would take 15 to 30 mins in rush hour..
the roads are great though.. you'll be fine
hope this helps some

Re: Anyone living in The Gap/Ashgrove, Brisbane
I used to live in Ashgrove before I moved to the states .... I miss my lovely house!
Anyway it is a great place to live. The drive to the CBD isn't all that great, its a sit back and slowly inch forward kind of drive. But the positives are its not far at all. There are some rat runs you can take, depending on where in the CBD you needed to get to. Most people I know around there either take the bus, or walk, or ride.
Its a nice leafy area, and one of the major bonuses is you can walk to paddo, the city etc if you really needed to. We used to do that for all rugby games, etc.
Let me know if you want any more info on the place.
