I live and work in Wooloowin and it is one of the best suburbs that I have lived in. The area is extremely popular with families, particularly the streets adjoining Kalinga Park. Kalinga Park in a great meeting point that locals frequent regularly, great open spaces with plenty of greenery. There is a huge playground for the kids and is a popular spot for BBQ's, sports, and has a jogging/bike track along the Kedron Brook. The council occasionally puts on free movie nights in the park which is a bonus. Kalinga Park also has a great history dating back to just after the World War when return servicemen were employed to plant trees and develop the roadway along 'Diggers Drive', which is probably where the strong sense of community originated from

There are a number of great local businesses, coffeeguy on Shaw Rd has the best coffee and snacks, Ann's Body Boutique on Shaw Rd is good for facials, massages etc and Step Out fitness on Lodge Road has great personal trainers and regularly have outdoor training sessions in the park.

If you are after hustle and bustle and night life then this is probably not the area for you, however it is so close to the City, Racecourse Road and Portside that you are only a short drive from the best bars and restaurants.

The homes in the area are stunning, predominantly Queenslanders on large blocks which are slowly but surely all being renovated into stunning homes. The homes are mostly owner occupied with few units and rentals which is another positive for families.

Wooloowin is a great place to live - and I plan on staying there for a long time

Two minute walk to the city bay tram. Two minute walk to buses. Short walk to Jetty Road shops & restaurants, supermarket, bars, the marina & the beach. We used to have two cars now we have only one because everything is so close! Also, because we are short walk away from all the action we dont have to worry about all the noise, the tourists & transient population passing by at all hours of the day & night. You just cant go wrong - We wouldnt want to live anywhere else!
