Kangaroo Point, QLD 4169

Becoming more and more dull and lifeless. Live music in the park by the river? Boomers call the police in droves to have shut down. Restaurants holding functions, policed called to shut down. Great seafood restaurant on the water, Boomers rallied to have shut down because the bins smelt fishy when they walked past them. Developers have gotten away with absolute parking murder for years. Buildings full of 2,3,4 bedrooms with 1 car park. Also be prepared to be followed and stalked by Boomers if you have a dog. I have been kneeling down with a dog poo bag in hand and a Boomer yelled "I HOPE YOUR PICKING THAT UP!" Nah Agnes I just wear poo bags on my hands for accessories! Any way beautiful locations it's the people who ruin it.

I moved to Kangaroo point around 5 months ago and have had the pleasure to be situated next to the Brisbane river which offers so many benefits that were unknown at the time I moved. To get to work I'm able to walk down to Mowbray park ferry terminal and take the ferry into Riverside station on Eagle Street. There isnt many places in the world where your commute to work can be done sitting on the back of the ferry in the Brisbane sun to relax before you start your day. Along with this you have the beautiful running and cycle track along the river which passes beautiful cafes, bars and restaurants all on the river edge.

For a little suburb with over-population issues, there is a lack of spots to eat out, have a drink and shop for quick groceries. If you're looking for a place where you can do things locally this is not it.
Public transport isn't very accessible and one of the ferry ports has been closed for a long time- no sight of it re-opening any time soon!
I work from home and can hear building sites all around me all day; even on weekends.

Great location on the river and easy to get around on bicycle, and by foot.
Quiet with a few evening spots but all close by up, down or over the river.

Not a neighbourhood if you need a car. One road in and one road out, so long delays.
High density neighbourhood with more newer buildings destroying the old historical cottages. No parking

KP is one of the most underrated locality close to the city. Pubs, CBD, Southbank all walk distance, KP Cliffs is stunning. Great for the young up and coming professional or young families.

A great position, so close to the city

Great access to the City of Brisbane and its River.We could live there and spend a week there at least once a year. The development of the area is all very well done and it has the Story Bridge Hotel,the city and Southbank nearby.

Great if you like waterfront apartment living. Surrounded by water and parkland the city is a 5 minute ferry ride or 5 minutes over the bridge by car. Close enough to the city without the hustle and bustle. I have lived in the area for over ten years and have no plans to leave. Great places to eat out are Garnish Bistro, Deerys at the Story Bridge Pub, Cafe Dockside or Zio Mario's on the border with East Brisbane.

Best streets are Thorn, Scott and Goodwin to name a few.

Kangaroo Point in the perfect inner city hub, When Kangaroo Point is mentioned we immediately think of rhyolite cliffs.

These cliff formations were not formed by nature but by early mining and are now the major rock climbing attraction for Brisbane's abseilers. Kangaroo Point is also a popular spot for picnics, walking and cycling. Particularly popular is the walk under the Story Bridge to Dockside.

Once a working class area, Kangaroo Point is now home to expensive highrise developments, cafes and restaurants.

You can stroll the river walk ways, picinic in one of the many parks provided, eat at some of Brisbane's finest resturants and have the security of being minutes from Brisbane's best hospitals. Brisbane's CityCat and ferry service at your door, leave the car in your garage.
