Herston

"I grew out of Herston"

I lived in the area for 18 yeras and thought I loved it because of the parks and how close it was to the city. But now I have moved on and don't miss the traffic and constant construction work. Sorry to say but for me the suburb is being crushed by progress and is nothing it was like years ago. I think their are similar suburbs that are better and of a similar price.
I now live the sea change in a bay side suburb where I have a beach out front and can still catch a train to the city. I have changed my thinking of what lifestyle is, now that I have move away from progress. If you are new to the area you will not worry about what write

"Easy going affordable suburb"

I have lived in the area for close to 20 years and have lived on Bribie Island and central Brisbane and find the area a wonderfull place to call home. I have a love of water and find I can do all my hobbies like fishing, sailboarding and kite surfing by walking a few meters to the water and no matter what the weather I have something to do. My partner and I also like taking our fold up chairs and sitting under the trees that dot the foreshore for a late afternoon sit by the bay and watch the people of the bayside walk their dogs, play with the kids or watch the kitesurfers zip across the water.
We in Brighton are blessed with a nice sandy beach at decker park with a great play area for kids and a off the leash dog park that I think is the best on the bay. Where else can you have a family day in one area that offers all that and then be able to go for a bike ride.
The other great thing is transport, we are so close to the Deagon deviation and have a choice of going up or down the coast so quickly or even an easy trip to the airport and city. Busses & trains are also available with good time tables.
I love the area for its people who are from all walks of life and different economic back grounds. We do not have to pay overpriced values just because of a suburb name. If you look at the whole northern bayside, it is really one large common area with no real geographic division, so why pay more for a name when you really know no matter where you live in the area it's all the same.
When I get old I look forward to my time in Eventide to spend my last years in the area I love.
