I've lived in bulimba for 6 years and it's an excellent location for couples and families. There are loads of parks, it's right by the river and has a beautiful walkway, it has dog park, and there is a couple of excellent retail precincts within walking distance. The community spirit is excellent, it is really safe to walk around day or night and for families there is great kindergarten and schools in walking distance and churches and community halls offering every type of club that you need. For adults who like exercise there are yoga, cross fit,Pilates, boxing and regular gyms, there is a 9 hole golf course, a sailing club and there is also an excellent public pool 5 mins drive away. The retail precincts have a cinema, bars, independent clothes shops, hairdressers, beauticians, supermarkets, restaurants and book stores. There is a street festival once a year and during the rest of the year there are always free plays and events in the park.
The only con is the morning traffic between 7 and 8 am on Hawthorne road- our answer is to take public transport or leave earlier. Both options work well. If you live on the main streets there is probably some traffic noise but we live on one of the other streets and never hear any noise. It's lovely and peaceful!
