Default Brisbane suburb advice

Hi

We are looking to come over to Brissie soon and hoping that someone can recommend some suburbs for us to check out.

We need to be near a train line and no more than 30 mins from CBD, we made the mistake of living without a train line here, and its a nightmare

We have only been to Bayside and have a rough idea of cost there, but do not need to live there, just havent had the chance to check elsewhere out yet. We will be renting initially.

Any info would be appreciated.

Ta much

Don't rule out living somewhere on a good bus route. I live in Greenslopes and it is about 15 mins to the city on the fast bus. Coorparoo has a similar service and is a nice place to live. If you are catch the train, you may well have a walk from the station to work so a bus may take you nearer

Don't forget the City Cat....that also gives rapid access to the city from nearly anywhere along the river.

Hi, we live in Cleveland and love it here.
it takes around 40-45mins to get to the CBD depending on traffic, its only minutes from the train station, but worth the drive.
Just remember Brissie is in a mini house boom at the mo, prices around here have increased around $30,000.

Sounds nice enough but we live about 40 mins from Adelaide CBD at the moment, and its just too far away for us, we seem to spend all of our time in the car, thats why ideally we want a train line, getting in and out of work aswell as drinks in the city at the weekend.

Grayling: we did like the city cat idea, but for $400 you wont get a house by the looks of it, i dont want a townhouse really as im used to my space now.

Thanks for the help guys
