Reviews of Taringa, QLD
"Taringa is a well-kept secret"
Taringa is a well-kept secret. It's the western suburb with the least amount of buzz because it's situated between Indooroopilly and Toowong, both of which are known for their enormous shopping malls. Taringa features quiet streets, numerous parks, and convenient access to a variety of retail districts.

"not an agent - lived here for 10 years!"
We love living in Taringa. It has a nice suburban feel, but is so close to the City/CBD! Perrin Park is great, we are close to Toowong shops and Indro shopping centre, plus the river/bike track/ferrys/trains/buses etc all walking distance. it is safe and family friendly I recommend the area to all, we wouldnt change a thing!

"Wow a lot of agent reviews here"
A lot of agent reviews on here, talk about not being impartial. Taringa is like every suburb in Brisbane, pretty run down, dirty footpaths, houses in need of major renovation, creepy people around. No nice views. Its nothing to rave about but it isn't horrid either.
haha what are you talking about!? I have lived in Taringa for the past 10 years and it is none of the above! The western side of the train line has a few more older houses, but the area surrounding Perrin Park, Train station and up to the shops off Swan is all lovely, great people and families. Well maintained and plenty of facilities.
Thanks Karen!
"Central to everything!!"
Taringa sits in the middle of the St Lucia, Toowong and Indooroopilly triangle. It gets access to all the best parts of those suburbs including businesses, restaurants, parks, shops, schools and the university. It's a great place to bring up a family if you can afford to get into the market with plenty of brilliant places to walk on a Sunday and grab a coffee.

"Close to the city with access to everything"
Taringa sits roughly 6km from the city with bus and train lines providing easy access. Taringa has great parks and has great views of the city at some points. Fantastic schools and medical options with easy access to Indooroopilly and Toowong shopping.
