Good and Bad subs of Brisbane for family rental homes
Hi,
Myself and my family have now been in Brisbane a month now, I work in the CBD. We currently are renting in Newstead, and love the Ascot and Racecourse area as well.
We're looking for good places to rent for a family, (myself and our daughter). What are the good and bad subs of brisbane? We were looking at Cleveland, is that a good one? going to have a look today.
Obviously newstead, Ascot, hamilton are all good, but are there more subs which you can more for your money.

Cleveland area and the rest of the Bayside can be pretty good.
In general, the area is pretty good and safe, however... the area is on the front page of the QLD newspaper today, as a 20 yr old was stabbed and died at a nightclub in Alex Hills, a suburb next to Cleveland, early (1:00am) Saturday morning. Not a normal occurrence for the area though.
Cleveland itself is the first/last stop on the rail line, useful in getting a seat if commuting by train
The Raby Bay part of Cleveland is particulary nice, but a bit pricey ...

Another place to avoid is the Koala Tavern in Capalaba if that's still around.
OP, did you take a look over on the other side of the river? If you are after more for your $ but still in easy reach of the city check out Camp Hill, Morningside, Coorparoo, Norman park....or if your $'s stretch further.....Balmoral, Hawthorne, Bulimba.

'The Alex' is rough as. I went there ONCE, back in 2003 - main memories are wall to wall rednecks, wading through broken glass on the floor & I remember that they scanned a copy of the driving license of everyone who went into the place - presumably so they could give the police a list later!! That being said I actually quite like parts of Alex Hills and it probably offers good value housing.
Never been in the Nightclub area though.

Has it changed much ?
I haven't been for a while, and I can't recognise that entrance... I'll have to call in next time I pass...
