Murarrie, QLD 4172

i grew up in murrarie and still to this day its one of the most convinient suburbs in brisbane. westfield shopping centre is next door, it has its own train station, schools aswell, its no wonder house prices have skyrocketed

Excellent suburb in growth mode. Plenty of parks to choose from, and multiple transport options. It’s near the city, next to Morningside, and close to Bulimba; offering a plethora of dining, drinking, & cafe options. In the older part of murarrie, there’s a mix of modern and character homes & cottages; many renovated or in the process of. Wonderful friendly neighbours and a strong community vibe. And the plane noise isn't that bad. It’s worse in Bulimba!

Murarrie has changed so much over the years and while it has become more prestigious and upmarket, it has maintained a good community feel. There are many parks, walking tracks and easy access to transport and cycling paths. It is a great suburb

Murarrie is a haven for Cyclists in Brisbane.

Murarrie is an emerging favourite for interstate downsizers and empty nesters, plus young couples getting into a inner city neighbourhood for a discount pricetag.

I have lived in many suburbs throughout Brisbane and I can hand on heart say that this is my favourite. My family and I live in the Park Hill Village Estate, and it carries the same family friendly village feeling you had growing up. The neighbours say hello to each other and are there to help. A suburb enriched with parks and close to the city and river.

Other than the planes, the suburb is great. We owned a property at park hill and we loved this place. Our kids are safe, the community spirit is also great and people are friendly.

We've lived in Murarrie for over 5 years, having downsized and bought a townhouse in Park Hill Estate. We're close to everything - shops are at Cannon Hill and the bus and train are about 10-15 minutes walk away. Park Hill Estate has many natural bush parks with tall gum trees and is close to the river. Plenty of space for families to get together and kick a ball around or to go walk the dog down by the river. Its close to Bulimba and Hawthorne and Carindale shops. We often go to the theatre, so we leave the car at Cannon Hill station and are at Southbank in under 15 minutes by train. Its close to the Gateway Bridge so going to either coast is not a hassle. The only down side is that plane's can be a bit noisy from time to time depending on the scheduled approach - otherwise, its a quiet area. Older parts of Murarrie are being renewed which is good to see. Still some good affordable properties around on large blocks. The eastern suburbs of Brisbane are surprisingly cooler than the western suburbs (where we moved from) and there's generally a cooling sea breeze most days.

Great family friendly suburb in a location that provides easy access to Gold or Sunny coast as well as Brisbane in general. I don't hear the trains at all (Pikedale St) and the airplane noise/traffic is easy to live with (for me). What is amazing is the Queensport Rocks feature on the bank of the Brisbane river - paths from Lytton Rd to the waters edge with piers for fishing etc, barbecues and a windy path up to the pedestrian/cycle lane on the Gateway Bridge - the views and scenery are spectacular and truly a hidden gem :)

We're first home buyers, but were first looking around the Morningside area, but after finding this hidden gem in Murarrie we have been more than impressed with this suburb. We're on the East Side of Creek Rd, which is much older than the newer estates located in Park Hill, but plenty of potential on this side of the road. The houses are older, but they're all either being renovated or have been renovated, which I can see is going to lift the demand and price of this suburb in less than 5 years. The older residents are moving out, and younger residents are moving in and renovating their dream homes at a fraction of the cost of what it is to buy in the Morningside/Bulimba suburbs which are merely 1-3kms away.

East Village has taken some time to get up and running, but once it has been constructed it will certainly add the spark back in to this forgotten suburb. The blocks are MUCH larger than what you will find in any of the newer suburbs, and many of our neighbours have chickens and birds which can sometimes give the illusion we're living out in the country (which we love).

We do hear the planes SOMETIMES, and the odd coal train at night - but considering we've just moved from Morningside where we were directly underneath the flight path, it is considerably more quiet here in Murarrie. Our neighbours are fantastic, and there's a super friendly energy about this neighbourhood. Would highly recommend for first home buyers and young, middle-aged couples.

Murarrie may have it's drawbacks (as the reviews below highlight) but you will be hard pressed to find better value this close to the city (only 7km as the crow flies). If you're looking to buy, forget about the overpriced Park Hill estate and look instead on the east side of Creek Road. There are hundreds of post war houses that have either been or are being renovated, and just as many that are ready to be transformed. The new East Village development on the corner of Creek Road and Wynnum Road has the potential to transform this suburb in the next 5 years, so best get in now.
