"Friendly green neighborhood"
Love living in Carina Heights. We have so many friendly neigbours and are surrounded by so much greenery. Such convenient proximity to both carindale and camp hill marketplace with lots of options. Looking forward to the addition of the new complex coming to the area.

"Quiet"
Currently living in Carina Heights, have been for 3 years, it can be a nice quiet surburb for families. The street I live on is often quiet, although I don't know the neighbors, a lot of them tend to be alright when I do pass on them on the street. I do find the surburb itself a more rich upper sort of streets.
Every Christmas I do a little thing for the street I am on, giving them small gifts at their doorsteps, so far they have enjoyed it and been friendly back, which is why I can say, aleast for my street it isn't so bad.
However, if you cannot drive, it isn't quite ideal, given the bus stops are spread out, and the buses don't come as much as the main street ones do, to a point I use Uber. Closest cafe is about a 20-25 minute walk away. There are a lot of hills, which can be a problem if you are older or have disabilities. If you can drive, then Carindale isn't that far at all, the shopping centre, then there's the Carina shops that includes the doctors.
Yes, there are dogs on the streets that bark, but let's be honest, every street is going to have dogs, and they are part of the family, if you are fine with children yelling all the time, dogs should be fine. The dogs where I am only really do it during the day, you can never really hear them at night.
So if you got a car, money, and such, families are great here, it is quiet and not so bad. Couples should do fine here too.

"All in one suburb"
It's one of the most handy suburb in Brisbane. Close to one of the best Westfield; Carindale shopping center, close to airport and city as well.
Besides that, Carina Heights is still nice, quiet, safe and sound. This suburb is a lovely green and greet for the runner.

"Lively Suburb with Access to Exceptional Lifestyle Precincts and Green Spaces"
I have actively worked in Carina Heights for years and it's impressive to see how far this suburb has come in that time. It represents an exceptional way for young buyers to gain access to the Brisbane property market in a relatively affordable fashion via the many newer townhouse and apartment developments that have popped up in the last five years, while still having great access to boarding blue chip suburbs like Carindale and Camp Hill and the many lifestyle options that both suburbs provide.
Westfield Carindale is a 5 minute drive (or less in many cases), the city is around 20 minutes, and onramps to the Gateway Motorway (and then onwards to the Sunshine or Gold Coasts), is around 5 minutes. Many green spaces dot the suburb as well.
Just a great place.

"Great suburb close to trendy amenities and transport"
I live on Cambridge Street in Carina Heights just off Old Cleveland Road (border lining Camp Hill) .
Carina Heights is a very convenient suburb but heavily populated with townhouses and units. Further towards Creek Road on Winstanley Street you'll find larger blocks (600sqm) post war homes (most need so TLC and other properties nestle on hilltops with large property and views of the city and surrounding area). But despite being a densely populated area, it is a very quite neighbourhood with friendly people (mostly young professionals/couples, retirees and young families).
There is a very trendy Market Place shopping complex which has a Woolies, Doctors, Bakeries, Grill'd, Hanabi Sushi, etc. which was recently upgraded a couple of years ago. Lots of schools near by (Whites Hills State School, Camp Hill Primary, San Sisto College, etc). Whites Hills Reserve is very close by (20mins walking distance or 5 minute drive) and has great dog park that has been recently renovated to accommodate the growing dog ownership in the area.
Transport is easy within walking distances to the main transport hub in Carina Heights plaza which bring you directly into the busway towards the city or to Carindale bus terminal.
M1 is within a 5 min drive which takes you to the airport and or Gold Coast.
Currently lots of townhouses and units being built in the area but these new builds will hopefully be absorbed by the growing population and desire to live close to the city but still affordable for new home owners makes this area a great surburb to invest in or to live in.

"Wide Tree-lined Streets Close to the City"
This suburb is close to the CBD (about 7km) and runs right into the very expensive suburb of Camp Hill. It's a very green established suburb with wide tree-lined streets and lots of parks. Blocks are around 600m/s. Mostly young professional families and older Aussies who've been there since the housing stock was built. Always meeting professional contacts around the area. Money is constantly going into the housing stock, development of boutique shopping precincts, and new busway coming. Bus services are already really good - into the city every couple of minutes at peak times, and use the existing busway (so fast). Also 2 minutes from Westfield Carindale, which has everything. Lots of good schools, day cares, gyms, local supermarkets, walkable coffee shops. Currently less expensive than Camp Hill but will be on a par once the property stock is fully upgraded.

"the most convenient place in brisbane"
The defining factor in this suburb is the location and the convenience it offers. Close to the city, shopping, restaurants, medical and childcare facilities etc- all the while affordable ( but starting to get expensive), safe, and trouble free.
