Having purchased a home in Currajong just under a decade ago I have found it difficult to leave as initially planned.
I originally purchased my home in Currajong because it's very central with access to 4 separate parks in under 1km (a dog park in Vincent is under 2km distance), is in close proximity to good schools - Currajong primary, Marian Catholic School and Pimlico High, and takes less than 10 minutes to get into the city, strand or Pallarenda beaches. You have a range of shopping options from Castletown and Domain through to the personalised Hammet st minimart and Otto's fresh food markets.
There are a number of older homes which appeal to those interested in art deco queenslanders/cottages although I've noticed a slow increase of newer homes being built on the few remaining blocks of land. Most blocks are circa 809m and a lot of families live here for generations making it easy to get that neighbourhood feeling that has dwindled and most other areas.
You will also find a very limited number of low density unit complexes and a handful of duplexes in the area. Most of the suburb appears to be owner occupiers with only 3 houses in my street section of 20 odd homes being rentals.
A recent sign of good times is also the increase in renovated projects. If you drive around Hammet st, Goodwin st, Corcoran and Gerard st you'll notice a number of homes being renovated and raised by younger families wanting a central area without the crime/units that surrounding suburbs are subject to.

Issues:
As some have noted there are parts of Currajong that flood, not a lot but I've seen around 10cm of water built up in some yards near the Hugh st/Palmerston st intersection with Gulliver. - This inherently brings on mosquitoes and possible water damage to a low set home or those built in without a tall enough slab. Albeit rain has been few and far between and I can count on one hand the times I've seen this area flood over the past decade.
Noise - There's an ambulance service on Hugh st and Maclachlan st which obviously becomes noisy on occasion. I'm around 100m from this building and rarely hear them outside of work hours.
