Reviews of Chapel Hill, QLD
"VRBO welcome home guest house in chapel hill"
When I checked in the place was an absolute disaster. The beds weren’t made. His washing was not even done and chucked all over the beds and floors. I walked into the room and there was needles everywhere and medications. It smelt like vomit. I should’ve complained but instead I actually cleaned it up myself, I did let him know that I’m cleaning his place and he was completely fine with it but once I checked out he threatened to call Police because I moved his furniture and accused me of stealing $500. Never book this place. I got a bad feeling from the start.
"Great for families"
Chapel Hill is currently really cheap compare to other suburbs with similar qualities.
Great variety of good schools to choose from. Some of the best public schools in QLD, as highly ranked as some best private schools! And so many great private/independent school close by too! Great home school communities around too. Plenty of options if you have school age kids.
Safe and quiet yet really convenient! Close to big shopping centres and only 10km or 15min drive to CBD!
Walking trails up Mount cootha summit etc...
What is not to love about it? Especially with its current price tag...

"Love it for schools"
Moved here in May 2023 from Logan Reserve. Love the move. Currently good homes' price vary between 1-1.5 mil; live near to Burbong ST with Indooroopilly primary and high school catchments. Easy access to M3 for CBD and towards south such as Rocklea. Kenmore and Indooroopilly shopping centres are very close, my favorite is Mount Ommaney shopping center which is not congested and spacious for parking in different locations around shopping center. Brisbane City Library access to Kenmore and Indooroopilly. Downside is most of the houses have complicated driveways and garages because of the hilly nature of suburbs. Sometimes its very steep and with very difficult access. Prices are not so cheap now (2023) compared to Kenmore or Kenmore hills especially eastern side of suburb where it borders Indooroopilly. Another downside is railway station access as Indooroopilly is nearest and no parking option near that station for city work. I prefer trains, but a number of buses around and frequency is very good especially 444. 425 goes thru Burbong st. Majority of the houses are old and built in 1970-1980. Leafy everywhere and not much apartments/units around and not many rentals as well; I assume majority owner occupied, at least in my street not even a single rental house. Another downside is 5G connectivity is poor, if you are particular about mobile data speed. NBN is the only good option and mostly HFC cable driven which is good enough for 100 mbps like speed. Great schools catchments, access to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre for any expensive shopping such as Myer, David Jones. For kids activities, sport clubs,music schools, karate schools,swimming schools all around within 3 km radius and good choice to pick from.

Very fair point and to give a one star is quite harsh but I guess it's one person's individual "personal" opinion.
We've lived in Chapel Hill for almost 10 years, to be so close to the city and Mt Cootha I honestly don't see how it's carved up especially if you compare many other suburbs. We love our beautiful suburb

"Best suburb"
I moved to Chapel hill this year and is a fantastic suburb to live. Lush greenery, walking distance to very good schools and great convenience to most of the schools, universities and shopping center.

"Quiet, safe yet convenient"
I love Chapel Hill. Great school catchment. Also not too far to UQ.
If you have kids they can get good education without necessarily paying the high private school fees. And go to top university and still stay at home. Probably can end up saving a lot of money...
The property price is relatively cheap compare to Indooroopilly, toowong and taringa etc...
Quiet and safe but yet close to shopping and not too far to drive to city.
I wish the government could build a motorway connecting M5 all the way up to Bruce highway... the gateway isn't that much faster and expensive... so it takes a long time to drive north through all the traffic lights... compare to the eastern suburbs where you can get on to M1 easily.

Have lived in Chapel Hill for 6 years now. Enjoyed so much with so much quote and area to walk, run or cycle. It has perfect access to the city by bike and still good access from Centenary high way. Schools are pretty good.
Not sure in what aspect you believe it has been carved up.
