My wife loves Northgate because of it's wide tree lined streets, friendly atmosphere, parks, 'cute' little shops, and the nice big old homes. She also loves it because it is very quiet with little traffic in most parts and it is so close to everything such as shops, schools, shops, services, and shops (by train or car)
I like it because of all of the above (yes dear) plus it has so many indicators for strong long term growth such as close proximity to multiple employment hubs, it's very much undervalued, good infrastructure, has close proximity to multiple transport corridors (2 train stations within 2kms, aiports, Gateway Motorway, Port of Brisbane etc), good population growth, a middle ring suburb, close to various lifestyle amenities, and is only 10km to the CBD. A big plus is that I travel interstate a fair bit with work and I can get to the airport in under 15 minutes.
The 18 yr old son likes Northgate because there is a gym less than 5 minutes drive away, he can catch the train into the city or the Valley for a few bucks (return) and gets there in less than 20 minutes, He can walk to work (Nundah), Westfield Chermside is only 10 or so minutes drive away, good pubs at Nundah, the north and south coasts are both only about one hours drive away and he doesn't have to pay rent (long story)
An amazing family suburb.
