Re: Moving to Brisbane
You might get a shack for that seriously rents are high for decent places. You would get something in our suburb for nearer to $400 a month we are 10km's from the CBD on the train line at Ferny Hills (the train is walking distance at Ferny Grove) I love where we live its green, hilly and a real family suburb. We are close enough to the CBD (30 mins by train) but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. It depends what you are looking for and how close but any closer you are more likely looking at $500 a week rent. No kidding check out prices on www.realestate.com.au and also try www.ourbrisbane.com.au for info on Brisbane and also its burbs

Not far awway for me is about 40-50 min driving. Is it possible to find something for this price in that not far away?

Re: Moving to Brisbane
We have a small 3 x 2 town house in Wakerley and the rent is $385/wk. We are 1 minute from a bus stop which takes you to the City (about 20 minutes) and the coast (about 10). Shops are a 5 minute slow walk away. Good, quiet little area and I think quite accessible. However, I think we will be moving after X-Mas because the house is a little too small for us (3 kids / 2 adults)and we would like a good size back yard. BoL

Re: Moving to Brisbane
Train is around 50mins to city but I'll be commuting with the bike.
As for rent, there are a couple of houses with the price braket you mentioned, but nothing spectacular. There are other nice suburbs down there like Thornlands, Victoria Point etc but there is no train line there.
Good luck mate

We are too moving to Brisbane and for starters will try Cleveland, which is SE of CBD and near the sea.

Re: Moving to Brisbane
Chapel Hill is nice and you will find a house for that if you look and move quickly. Also sometimes you can ask them to reduce slightly. Its a nice area, not rough at all

Re: Moving to Brisbane
We are in Ipswich. We bought out here as the prices are more reasonable than Brisbane. The rent is much cheaper too. Redbank is one of the closer suburbs in Ippy to Brisbane, and has a good shopping centre, and train station, and school. I would think Redcliffe is pretty expensive now.
