Reviews of Paddington, QLD

Editors Choice

"Quiet, private, leafy, safe, like living in the country in the middle of the city"

Paddington is a beautiful, leafy, safe suburb . I can take my dog for a walk at all times of night and I always feel safe. As Paddo is full of professional people it is tidy and quiet. Neighbours are friendly, we have street parties but most people respect each others privacy. There is a great walking and bike path all along Enoggerra creek that goes for klms. There are also a couple of dog off leash areas. Ithace pool has been upgraded. Ithaca TAFE is down the road, the Broncos club and the Paddo pub are down the road. Ithaca State school has a great name. Everyone at Paddo shops is friendly. There are many alternative medicine places and the doctors are good. Some bulk bill. If you have a look at other major capital cities it is inner city where you get the most capital gain.

It's a bit like Camberwell in Melbourne used to be. I walk to the city every day for work and there are great trendy shops as wel as op shops. It isn't outrageously expensive to shop here. It's great if you have visitors because there are so many restuarants and coffee shops. The antique centre is here and there are many art galleries.

It's a great suberb to live in and I love it.

"Sought after suburb bursting with life"

Once a rough working-class suburb, Paddington has become one of the most sought after suburbs in Brisbane. It has transformed into a local hot spot, with a thriving drinking, dining and shopping scene. With a mix of young adults and families, this suburb is one of Brisbane's best suburbs to live.

"A Hilly leafy village"

Off all the suburbs Ive lived in Brisbane, Paddington is where my heart is.
I love getting of the bus which come every 7 minutes in peak hour and looking across the hill to the CBD in the distance and Mt cootha with a western sunset. We became a one car family was I could walk home from the local shops and get transport easily. The pretty timber heritage homes and the leafy streets make this suburb so so quaint. Friendly locals great child care / schools and shops.

"Paddington, the best parts of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane"

Paddington is a beautiful, quiet and relaxed suburb so close to the city. It's the best mix of all the best parts of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane - the culture, local cafe's and restaurants, stunning period homes and chilled out vibe, it is excellent for young professionals and families alike. Public transport is excellent along Latrobe Terrace and Given Terrace, and the lovely tree-lined streets provide a peaceful homely feel. The area is safe, the residents are very friendly and welcoming, and there is a strong sense of community. I lived in Ascot for many years before moving to Paddington, and although Paddington is often referred to as "the Ascot of the West" I much prefer Paddington for all the reasons I've mentioned. It's the best suburb I've ever lived.
