We moved here to get away from the stress of traffic and claustrophobic living. 5 minutes from Carindale and 5 minutes from Capalaba shopping centers without being too close. We chose this suburb for 2 reasons, the choice of schools nearby are far better then where we were before and the traffic even in peak hour is what I would call excellent as it at least keeps flowing. 17 km from the city and it takes me 25 minutes at the most.
Close to the sleeman centre, chandler markets and some nice nurseries. The schools have before and after school care on site and the kids actually don't mind going which is fantastic , no more tears at drop off which was very hard previously.
We worked out we actually have an extra hour a day to spend with them purely out of not having to sit in traffic anymore.
As an added bonus we have triple the space we had before , we have gone from having a 460sq block to 1300sq , we were upset to lose money on our last home, but we got so much more value here that it has helped us get back to living rather than existing.
A life saving move for us, we may not live on the north side anymore, but the people here are lovely and friendly, we were only here for 2 days before the neighbours invited us over and were happy to show us around and tell us where all the great spots are. Our last home, we were lucky to get a hello off the neighbours in 3 and a half years .
This is the first time I have felt like ever writing on the Internet, I guess it is just nice to feel happy again
