Pros:
Proximity to work for many health and academia employees, also fairly convenient to CBD for inner city workers on public transport, scooter, cycle
Proximity to Northern Busway, and future high frequency Brisbane Metro with Herston, and RBWH stops
Proximity to Brisbane airport, about 10-15mins, with 2 sets of lights if go via the Airport Link tunnel
Proximity to large hospital facilities, emergency department, also private medicine clinics on Butterfield st
Large areas of greenspaces, including Victoria Park and the connected very large greenspace corridor along Breakfast Creek including Ballymore, Rasey, Downey Parks, with lots of sports activities for adults and children
Close proximity to Northey St markets, city farm
Several decently priced cafes, eateries within/adjacent to RBWH, also at Victoria Park
Fairly walkable foot paths with generally adequate shading by trees, also majority of streets are well paved, much easier to walk on vs some inner city suburbs that roads are either too narrow or have to walk on grass, or suburbs that are somewhat too hilly to walk easily
2 hour street parking and dedicated 30min parking, also ability to get visitor parking permits do make it relatively easy for our visitors to get parking, quite decent for inner city suburb. Also streets are much wider than many inner city suburbs
Walkable, scooterable or public transportable to Fortitude Valley, new Bowen Hills eatery precinct, RNA showground precinct
Future public transport options of Brisbane Metro, and Cross River Rail
Future infrastructure projects, Herston Quarter, RNA showground further development, Bowen Hills
Predominantly still has traditional character overlay to maintain character homes
Close to many highly ranked private schools, also catchment public school is highly rated.

Cons:
Lack of as many eateries and cafes on the weekends, due to them catering mostly for health precinct staff.
Several streets in flood zones
Some streets, eg Butterfield St, Herston Rd can get busy with rat running traffic
RBWH helicopters can be very loud for some that are closeby, can occur at any time of the day and night
