Suburbs.

Preferably south Brissie.

Anywhere to avoid at all costs? ...

Heard Kingston, Woodridge are none too desirable. Around Bayside good (only cause we live here so can comment a bit). Alex Hills, Capalaba a bit cheaper than Birkdale and Wellington Point. Last two on train line which is handy for trip into city. Mount Warren Park close to Beenleigh trainline but bit better area. Also over Heritage Park/Regents Park. Springwood/Daisy Hill and Shailer Park are nice areas close to M1.

Hope this gets you started.

Thanks mate ...

What Logon (Bogan) ville? ...

Brisbane South suburbs I would recommend, East Brisbane, Camp Hill, Coorparoo, Seven Hills, Greenslopes, Holland Park, Holland Park West, Mt Gravatt East, Carindale, Tarragindi.

Wouldn't go any further South than about 10km (my opinion only guys, not to offend anyone who lives further south than that).

swapping north for south

Norman Park is also a nice suburb. Further south there are places like Sherwood and Rocklea which aren't too bad anymore.

But my favorite is Norman Park, and also Hawthorne and Bulimba, although they may be more east than south, and maybe a bit exy.

Manly is lovely too.

The beaches are none existent and you have to
travel to the gold or sunshine coast or get a ferry to one , public
transport is very slow , many expats on first arrival find it very
hard in the quiet suburbs to settle

Think it depends strongly on where you are intending working, for example a lot of people commute from the Bayside and I know I certainly would not live in some of the suburbs you mention purely because of the house prices, small blocks and a lot of suburbs closer to the city seem to have an older and more run down feel.

It really is horses for courses,i would get in the car and have a couple of days driving around,you soon get a feel for the place
Good luck

Yeah - heaps of people commute from all over Brisbane, including Bayside, but the suburbs I've mentioned have quite easy access to city, gateway and M1. House prices may be a little more expensive, but that usually means they are in a higher capital growth area too which means you're getting a better long term investment. There are still a lot of large blocks, we have 809sm block in Coorparoo. The "older and more run down feel" is probably just because you're not used to queensland style housing - it's actually much more sought after than the newer brick and rendered type housing of the bay.

Yep Norman Park is great as is Sherwood, still wouldnt go to Rocklea though as most is still too industrialised and not likely to change. Hawthorne and Bulimba are beautiful, but very pricey. They're access to the city is a bit of a pain too as Wynnum Road is the only access road out of them.

bcworld

Yup Wynnum Rd is a nightmare.....if you're working in the CBD much better to just get the CityCat.

I'd go along with your previous list of suburb recommendations....I used to live in Mt Gravatt E and really liked it....5 minute drive down to the M1 and about another 15 - 20 into the city most days.

What makes you such an expert on Logan.

Have you ever lived in or around the area ?? Or as most people just form an opinion from other peoples views ??

Be interesting to know were you live..

DunRoaminTheUK

You always get so defensive about Logan...

tictac

Can someone please explain what this means?

I think it should be 'Stepford'?
