Gaythorne is one of those unique suburbs which is literally spit in two by city rail.

On one side you have the community housing and light industrial neighbourhood, which has potential and is slowly improving.

On the other side of the rail line (and samford road) is the quiet, leafy neighbourhood pocket which shares its border with the enoggera army barracks. The people are friendly, everything is walking distance, with some great little eats around the corner, a community gym and library, and just a short walk to the coffee shops and bakery on blackwood street or the shopping at brookside.

Combined with its excellent public transport via rail and bus, and a short direct car trip into the city (less than 15 minutes) as well as being well serviced by internet providers, choice of cable tv services and well priced brisbane city rates makes Gaythorne one of those true treasures which few people know about. I will add crime rates are low and the community watch program seems to work well. A very green and proud secret pocket of brisbane.
