Maranoa Street

"Tightly Held"

Beautiful, broad and lined with trees. There is no through traffic, as it isn't a natural shortcut for anything. Also note that it is zoned for single residential homes only, so you won't get medium or high density built around you. Big blocks, nicely kept gardens. People walking dogs. Everyone knows each other. Parks at each end of the road. Feels semi rural. Tightly held.

"Wide Tree-lined Streets Close to the City"

This suburb is close to the CBD (about 7km) and runs right into the very expensive suburb of Camp Hill. It's a very green established suburb with wide tree-lined streets and lots of parks. Blocks are around 600m/s. Mostly young professional families and older Aussies who've been there since the housing stock was built. Always meeting professional contacts around the area. Money is constantly going into the housing stock, development of boutique shopping precincts, and new busway coming. Bus services are already really good - into the city every couple of minutes at peak times, and use the existing busway (so fast). Also 2 minutes from Westfield Carindale, which has everything. Lots of good schools, day cares, gyms, local supermarkets, walkable coffee shops. Currently less expensive than Camp Hill but will be on a par once the property stock is fully upgraded.

"A Suburb on the Down"

Dial-up speed internet. Majority of streets are subject to year round swooping magpies and the council are too useless to do anything about it. Full of poor quality nasty new apartment blocks. Very poor road access to the city. Can be a 2 hour commute by road at peak times. Parking usually impossible due to people parking for city cat. Seems to be zero council planning. High crime. Car theft, burglaries, sex attacks recently (although sex attacker is being deported).Lots of bogan residents (I gather houses here used to be dirt cheap). Lots of pests. Infested with giant cockroaches most of the year. Rentals are overpriced. Sale prices are for those who can't do maths. Postal deliveries are sporadic. Lots of strange old people shuffling about and shouting at imaginary people, from the old folks home. On the plus side, Brisbane Boxing rocks.
