Inala

"Lovely neighbours and community"

I used to think I would rather die than live in Inala. However being forced out of the rental market 3.5 years ago due to owing pets I had to look for a cheap house to buy. Not only was it the best thing that ever happened to me but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my house. It is stucco, solid as a rock, so comfortable and even has a walk in wardrobe and ensuite which I used to think I would have to be a millionaire to afford. My neighbours in every direction are fabulous, lots of single pensioners, vietnamese who are friendly and as quiet as a mouse and in general there is a lovely community spirit. I have many regulars that I call out and say hello to when taking my dogs for a walk and I have even had neighbours offer things like mowing my lawn when I have been unwell.

I was broken into within a month of moving to this house by the local junkies who have since been arrested or moved on so now find no problems whatsoever and this was over 3 years ago. I have not noticed any signs of drugs or addiction since they left.

The shops are not great, however I love the multicultural feel of the outdoor area and as a previous poster said, Mount Ommaney and Forest Lake are so close if you need a bit more variety.

I actually much prefer the multiculturalism of Inala to the previous stereotypical occupants of Inala, being the feral white people, and actually find that on the odd occasion you do see those kind of people at the shops screaming at their children etc, you just think 'what rock did you crawl out from under' seeing as how it is such an infrequent thing to see.

One last thing - the houses are fantastic. Last year I found out I had termites and had had them for years. Any other house would have been eaten to the ground. I may have to replace some skirting boards and door frames at some stage - but that is it. These Stucco homes are such good quality, so solid and built to last.
