Tarquin

This street is long. It has some spots which look like serious gardeners live in the homes there. Some landscaped gardens with hedges and perfect lawns. The best thing about this street and it's neighbouring ones, is that it is close to everything. It's literally on on the doorstep of Forest Lake, but has a convenience store and other local shops very close at Skylark Street, as well as all the Vietnamese Restaurants and Woolies/Coles etc at Inala Plaza, just on the other side of the park. It's very quiet and is very leafy.

WOW! I have lived in Inala for 2 years and I'm loving it. It's the best place ever. Wide roads, tall trees, but best of all - and I can't believe I only just found this - I just joined the gym for $30 a year at the PCYC! Awesome. Cheapest gym membership in the WORLD and a great gym! Oh yeah - you have to pay 10 bucks a week too - but you just cancel it when you stop going, there's no contract!

This is a safe area no matter what people like to say about it. There are heaps of people who have been living in 'posh' suburbs and are moving to Inala because the rents are getting so high. Even here prices are going a bit mad but nothing compared to Indooroopilly etc. When people start looking at what they can get in Inala in some of the reno'd houses it blows their minds - because of the hovels they are living in 10 minutes up the road for so much more money and a horrible stressful life! Just so they can say to their friends 'see where I don't live'. I think it's hilarious. Trust me I know - I work in real estate.

The worst thing for hard up families will be when the rest of Brisbane catches on to what a gem Inala is - because then the prices will go up even further (It's already starting - they're 6 x what they were 10 years ago). Inala is a 15 minute drive to the city on a Sunday. For the professional, it's 30-40 minutes on a workday in peak hour. With Richlands train station its 30 minutes on an xpress train and not much different on a non-xpress! But then, there's plenty of work around in the south and south-west with no need to even go to the city.

Also, there are buses to take the kids to schools in Indooroopilly, Centenary, MtGravatt, Sunnybank or the City. Or Forest Lake is a walk down the road.

I don't care what people say - especially fools like the guy who reviewed before me - this place is a gem. I haven't seen any seen any crime! It's so easy to live here. Quiet, peaceful. I love it and recommend it to anyone who has a brain in their head and wants the easy life - smaller mortgage or lower rent (no rent or mortgage in Brisbane is truly low anymore, but lower than elsewhere).
