Not sure why people rate this place really high.
Honestly speaking there is plenty of houses , mostly new built but too far from a city like Cairns.
Cairns CBD is just awesome.
Brinsmead is far from schools and shopping centers. Only if you really choose some pockets, you may be a bit closer.
There is few great freshwater creeks and swimming holes.
Leafy like most part of QLD.
No public transport. ( Bus once in a while). Uber yes.
Nothing exciting.

First as a tourist ,then as a local. This place is true paradise in Australia.
Nothing like this. Full stop.
If you like tropical ,this is place to be. Fruits, climate ,places to go , freshwater ,schools etc etc etc.
If you don't like a bit of sweat and humidity,this is not your place.
If you ever in city, try walk on esplanade Morning, Evening . Listen to the birds.
One side is Rainforest, other side is Sea with Reef.
Finding a place to rent and buy is a bit hard, as there is very little land and low new developments.
Local are really good. 2% is racist(lower than other parts of Australia)
You will find true Australians in Indigenous people .
Some of them are addicted to drugs. (sick).
Finding a high paid job is bit difficult as most of jobs are done in Sydney and Melbourne.
But if you really want to have great life with your family and lot of outdoors. This is the place.
Very low public transport. You don't really need one.
Lots of parking apart from CBD.
Most of the professional peoples like Accountants, Lawyers etc charge a premium (Not sure why)
Pleanty of Uber.
You can walk in the City , night life is so bright.
But the place is so so beautiful.
