I have lived in Bulimba for the last 3 years. In some ways I really like it here and in some ways I'm not too fussed. I like being really close to cafes, cinemas, pubs, Woolworths, 24 hr petrol station. The suburb is generally pretty tidy and well maintained. People are friendly. I love the little village feel here. The transport options are great. You can get a bus or Ferry into town or if you just want to taxi it, there is a taxi rank outside the pub with a permanent line of cabs for the most part. People have complained about traffic to the city - I've never really faced this - however I pick my times wisely. Now for the negatives - Properties tend to be built very close together here. I feel like there is zero privacy. Developers are constantly building apartments. For the last 3 years there has been constant construction noise in my street during the day with 3 new apartment complexes having been built. I doubt it's going to cease soon with yet another house demolished to give way for another unit block just a few doors down. There are a lot of cafes here however they are mostly so so. I'd rather drive somewhere else to get a nice meal. Lastly, Bulimba is surrounded by really average suburbs and shopping precincts like Cannon Hill which detract from it's up market status. To give an example in the opposite direction - St Lucia - it's an up market area with lovely surrounding area and shopping precincts.
