Bad Brisbane Suburbs? - Page 2

Plutonus · 04-11-2008, 01:59 PM

Probably not heaps far south (But what is far south? Down to interpretation?). Not sure how close I need to be yet. As long as public transport is around I'm ok.

But I like the look of Kangaroo Point, it's just south of the city and seems pretty close to everything?

SHANNON · 04-11-2008, 02:10 PM

expect to pay a crap load them being 2kms from the city

Plutonus · 04-11-2008, 02:16 PM

Really? I've seen places in Coorparoo much higher, and you guys all said that's much worse

bourbon · 04-11-2008, 02:20 PM

how big of a place you need as well??? logan is great...its 30mins from the city...about 30-40mins from the gold coast...and is about 2hrs from the sunshine coast...

the house im livin in atm is a 4 bedroom place large..double garage and brand new and is only $400 p/w... gives you a rough idea

Kazz · 04-11-2008, 02:41 PM

Kangaroo point has some good spots I Knew a fair few ppl at work that lived there for a good price and its really nice for walking and jogging. Some times its even good to find a share house untill u find your feet but you would probs have a bit of stuff and will have someone with you yeah? I have lived on the north side yes it is very detached from the city and can be a bitch sometimes its nice tho, i liked living there (in pine rivers) its close to the sunshine coast. even if u find a nice estate it will be good coz its a mini community without the bogans usually.

DavoAust · 04-11-2008, 02:48 PM

are you intending to catch public transport a lot? kangaroo point isn't a bad place to live, and plenty of public transport. are you going to be working in the city?

Plutonus · 04-11-2008, 07:42 PM

From the top!

Um probably 2 bedrooms.

Don't know, I might be on my own. People keep on wanting to move as well but they never get their **** together, so I decided if I rely on others it'll never happen. But I assume once I get set up people will suddenly flock and want to be there

Depends where I work. I'd drive if it isn't too far + free parking available. I'll either be working Southside or in the city, I daresay.

70NYD · 04-11-2008, 08:02 PM

if ur working in the city there would not be free parking at all i dont think. but if you live on southside you can park at garden city and catch a bus from there. busway only takes around 10 - 15 minutes from garden city to city except in peak hour when it can take up to half hour due to ppl gettin in/out.. i do that every day when i go uni and from my house to uni it takes me 30 min, thats with a 10 min walk and car parking.
either way welcome to QLD

when u eventally get here anyway

Mc_Nuggets · 04-11-2008, 09:12 PM

sunnybank I live here and its also gud coz theres alot of dun up cars going around

Ice88 · 04-11-2008, 11:16 PM

Windsor, Auchenflower, Kelvin Grove, Hamilton, Toowong, Moorooka arent bad places to live IMO.

Plutonus · 05-11-2008, 06:56 PM

Sheesh, heaps of places don't have parking

What's on the street parking like these days?? Safe/not safe?

bourbon · 05-11-2008, 07:05 PM

expensive and for like 2hrs max or somethin stupid...

Plutonus · 05-11-2008, 07:06 PM

Not in residential areas surely? Don't you get those permit thingies? Or am I dreaming again....

70NYD · 05-11-2008, 07:34 PM

cbd district parking (including kangaroo pt southbank west end etc) is restricted to P2 unless otherwise signed. im sure that you can get the resident permits but i have no idea how. apart from that parking on the street isnt that bad in most areas, just make sure ur insured anyway for theft just in case

bourbon · 05-11-2008, 07:58 PM

if its out suburbs its fine for the streets...alot of places have a driveway at least with a carport...

Plutonus · 05-11-2008, 08:31 PM

Yeah, I've found some cheaper apartments though. Seems to be a lottery with secure parking in that case. Guess I'd have to ask about on street.

bourbon · 05-11-2008, 09:31 PM

yeah...also be warned alot of places a while ago was basically an auction for renting...people would offer more than what it was going for to get the place...

Depends where in Kangaroo Point. The street I live in has unrestricted parking every day. No resident permits required.

70NYD · 05-11-2008, 11:07 PM

interesting where are these streets so that i may exploit them sometimes hehehe
