We lived in Everton Park on Mountridge St for 4yrs and have just moved. Overall we were happy there and have only left as we purchased a property elsewhere.

Pros
Convenient to supermarkets, laneway restaurants, drs, Optometrist, pharmacy, schools etc

A short drive to decent playgrounds and not far from Raven St Reserve (Chermside West) for a bush walk.

Safe, although we always kept things locked up.

Quiet neighbours & generally quiet at night but there has definitely been an increase in traffic & associated noise with the new road development. Strathpine road is busy with trucks, cars and ambulances so you often here that 24/7. Depending on what street you are in you may be sandwiched between major roads.

Cons
Limited footpaths depending on what street you are living on.

Noise & people speeding

We heard the occasional argument coming from Page St.

Rental & property prices have gone a bit over the top. The suburb is nice but not that nice!

Public transport isn't good. Buses only.

Some air pollution from backyard bomb fires depending on where you live. This can blow straight into your house.

The occasional roaming dog.
