We quite liked the look of Albany Creek on paper but when we got there it didnt have the right feel (whatever the right feel is!!) we have ended up with a place called North Lakes/Mango Hill - which is about 10 minutes away from Albany Creek - also it is about 5-10 minutes away from a nice beach at Redcliffe.

We have been looking at the North lakes area too. It does look really nice but we are still quite a way off yet so have a while to do lots more research.

Well Scott, you've put a good site together. I was looking at it with my family the weekend as we plan to move into the Northern Sububs somewhere. This looks great.
Do you know if it's on a min trainline to the CBD, any idea how long it would take ?

North Lakes is a great place to live. I work in the Brisbane CBD and drive each day. It takes approximately 35 - 40 mins if you travel just outside peak hour.
You can get a bus from North Lakes to Petrie train station and then into the city. That would take over an hour. Try the Transinfo site - www.transinfo.com.au - that will give you a better idea.
Regards, Scott

Cheers Scott, anything under an hour is bliss in comparison to London !!!
We were looking for something property wise with plenty of room, 1/2 acre type thing . Do you know if there are any developments like that around Nth Lakes ? The most we could see was around 550k for a property (on Harcourts), anything higher in value with a modest it of land ?
.
Last question I promise, thanks mate. Martyn

We are looking to move to North Lakes at the end of Sept/early oct - I think we better get in quick as it seems to be turning into a popular destination at the moment, the house prices will probably go up at this rate!!
cheers
