Beautiful acreage properties, friendly (but not in your pocket) neighbours, low crime and a great bus service (so long as you live close enough to it). Access to gyms at Bellbowrie or Kenmore, and some great State Forests for bushwalking, mountain biking and horse riding. Childcare centres at Pullenvale and Bellbowrie, and good shops at Kenmore. For the 'big' shops its an easy drive to Indooroopilly or Mt Ommaney. Pullenvale State is a great, smaller-style school, and Kenmore High (which has a comprehensive bus service through the suburb) is one of the state's best performing high-schools. Private Schools also have good bus services through the suburb, so the key is to buy close to where these buses pick up. Yes, we do have to commute on the dreaded Moggill Road/Centenary route, but many people do cycle in to the city as the bike paths are good. Yes it's expensive, but it's probably the nicest and safest acreage area this close to the city.
