Carseldine, QLD 4034

We have called the winery estate within Carseldine home for a year now. Admittedly, we entered the northern Brisbane property market on a whim attracted to the aesthetic of established homes on wide, very quiet streets - this pocket of Carseldine is a tightly held hidden gem.

Locals are quiet and respectful but not without a sense of community. The majority of houses are owner occupied, on large blocks and all take great pride in their homes. There is very little through traffic making for a lovely residential environment.

The area is very well service by Woolworths, a pharmacy and plethora of convenient dining options at the Carseldine Centre, Chermside is just a short drive away. The vibrant, dog-friendly Carseldine market on a Saturday is also excellent, offering fresh produce and an array of food and coffee options.

There is easy access to Gympie Road when heading into town or escaping to the Sunshine Coast. The train station is some distance from our home which we view as an advantage; we had previously lived in inner city suburbs within easy walking distance of train stations and the crime rate became an increasing problem. Here, we have near zero concerns about crime or safety.

While you are car dependent, I can not rate our pocket of Carseldine highly enough. Having researched our street prior to settlement, the average house has been held for 22 years, a figure which speaks volumes for the area.

We are living in Carseldine for almost 6 years in a free-standing home and here are the pros and cons of living there.

PROS

a) There are at least 10 schools both private and public and Childcare centers within 10 mins of our house.
b) Direct bus and train to Brisbane City. Buses to Redcliffe shops, beach and hospital
c) Westfield Chermside is about 7 mins drive, Apsley Hypermarket is about 5 mins drive, Carseldine Central and Bunnings, Chemist, restaurants, cafes is about 2 mins drive.
d) Prince Charles Hospital is about 7 mins drive and direct bus to Royal Brisbane Women Hospital.
e) Dog Park at Lacey Road.
f) Easy freeway access to Sunshine Coast, City and Gold Coast still it is a quite suburb.
g) Brisbane Entertainment Centre is only about 10 mins drive.
h) Great place to raise family or good suburb for young professionals and retirees.
i) Low crime rate compared to some other suburbs on Brisbane north side.

CONS

Nearest night clubs are at Fortitude Valley which is about 25 mins drive away.

Good location, peaceful and decently close to the CBD

Purchased and Moved here from Stafford heights. It has everything for every lifestyle. The new Carseldine village is a bit "meh"..! But we love living here. Transport is good if not great. Railway station is 10 minutes with park n ride facilities.
Aspley Hypermarket for shopping.
Ikea and Costco just about 20 minutes.

Hey south siders, we have beautiful sea breezes and beaches ;)

Fantastic homely streets and unique homes

Fantastic area

Fantastic easy accessible suburb with heaps of shops and places to go especially near dorville rd great to buy or live on dorville rd easy access to freeways and main roads

Been living here since past 6 months and all we could say is that it is a gem. Calm, peaceful, plenty of parks for kids and a separate enclosed dog park (Lacey road) for pets.
Inner streets are a bit narrow, but not a great deal. There wont be any place on earth that is 100% perfect!.
Close to all amenities -
Aspley Bus station (10 minutes)
Carseldine Railway station (5 minutes)
Aldi/Bunnings/JB-HIFI/GoodGuys (10 minutes),
Sunshine coast (1 hour 20 minutes).
Bracken Ridge Tavern (10 minutes)
Aspley State high school (10 minutes)
Carseldine Central (10 Minutes)

Calm, peaceful

I grew up in the streets of Brisbane when I was two years old and I have to say that those years were astonishing. The living environment is gorgeous and it's very clean too! It's very quiet and discrete, meaning that you are able to find peace and quiet along with the safety since the crime rate is very low.

We moved to Carseldine recently. Our neighbours are very friendly and great place to raise your children.
Everything you need is very close. The best shopping center in Brisbane - Westfield Chermside is just 5 minutes by car.

Carseldine is a great place to live.
Recent shopping centre, police station and easy access to sunny coast where else would you want to live.
Train line to city, Bus to city. Easy drive to Brighton (Beach)for Sunday avro fish and chips.
I used to live out at Petrie and always drive past Carseldine to work, now I live here I save 45mins on my trip to work. 45mins extra with the kids. Well worth the move.
If your going to buy here, buy near the Uni,easy walk to the train station and bus.
