McDowall, QLD 4053

Lived here for 2 years and it felt exactly like Arana hills just much more expensive. Do not like this area of Brisbane and it lacks ideas, so we eventually sold and moved south.

Some of the worst gridlock I’ve experienced is in north Brisbane and especially Friday afternoons. Car is the main mode of transport from here and makes getting around difficult.

Not much of a vibe

Great suburb. The community really looks out for each other. Neighbours always say hello and take care of their properties. Halloween was fantastic last year. Great community spirit for the kids!

We have also been very happy with Mcdowall State School. Lots of green spaces to enjoy. We love all the birds that visit our garden from the conservation parks nearby. It is quieter but still close to everything.

Last year we moved into Glendora Estate in Mcdowall. It is such a beautiful area with many parks and so much nature nearby including Bunyaville and Chermside Hills Reserve. There are lots of walking tracks, dog parks and playgrounds. Close to amenities including Mcdowall Village (medical centre, vet, dentist), Chermside Shopping Centre, Everton Park restaurants and top rated schools. Our neighbours are always friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t be more happy with our move and feel that Mcdowall is the perfect suburb especially for families looking for a safe, friendly and green area.

Recently moved to McDowall, its perfect for families and offers so much.
Its close to everything and very safe, the neighbors are very welcoming and always say hello.
Highly recommend for families.

We have lived on the Paramount Estate fir almost 4 years now. It's the perfect location. Park and Creek on one side, which hasn't flooded any properties not even Feb 22. Reserve on another side and village shops at the end of the road. Peaceful to live in and all amenities close by. Great schools shopping, cinema, bowling ,doctors, physio great restaurants...and on and on. Neighbours are awesome and friendly. Everyone says hello when you walk by. Really low crime rate. Perfect.

We just moved to McDowall, into the Paramount Estate area which borders Cabbage tree creek and Chermside Hills reserve, and we can’t believe how beautiful it is. We have lovely neighbours, the streets are quiet, and there are many kilometres of flat, shady trails and tracks to walk our dog on. People say hello and we’ve stopped to chat with passers by many times. Just so pleased with this area!

We've recently bought a house in McDowall based on the recommendation of one of our friends who's been living there since 1996. Compare to surrounding suburbs, McDowall offers an outstanding lifestyle. So far, so good :)

Very nice and quiet suburb. Very close to amenities and has a top-rank school.
