Visited the street for a long weekend - VERY close to the beach (2 min walk) and plenty of shops - great little spot to hang in Surfers if you dont want to be right smack bang in the middle of the Main Beach chaos

Yes, I spelt the title incorrectly on purpose - this street was the street I lived in for nearly 27 years - from nearly birth until I moved to Brisbane, and the person that lived there is long gone - BUT, this street is awesome; it has regional the hospital that I broke both my arms in (carpark); got a medi-helicopter ride with my little bro; and our dog pip got fried in the furnace (after they said he ate rat poison - which was on purpose! - thats why they destroyed the evidence). Lots of adventures & fire burning - it has quite a nice aspect in retospect as you can see the Baw Baw mountains and even the ski runs in winter - it is in a quant little town that is pretty white collar and only an hour from Melbourne. VERY quiet.

Chester St is a long street, but all the residential houses are at the top end, away from the main busy traffic areas, but with extremely good access to main roads into and out of Brisbane city. 25 min walk into CBD; 15 min bus ride; 10 min bike ride! Very close to Fortitude Valley and New Farm restaurants, bars, clubs, shopping, markets - you want it, you can get it!! With the convenience comes a cost - with most houses on the top end of Chester St (aka Teneriffe Hill) you wouldnt get much change from AUD$2m!! I rent and share in a very well priced house though, only payign $130 a week!!!!!

That's what it says in the street sign on this street - it is central to the Valley (Fortitude Valley - the club/dance/band/funky best place to go out in Brisneyland), it is also very quiet for an inner city suburb (New Farm), close to some great restuarants (Brunswick St), parks, 25 min walk into the city central on the 'floating walkway (you can see it on the google map in the water). I have live in New Farm area for 7 years and Moray St is definitely the best of both worlds.

This street has all the 'Woolstore' apartment buildings, with heaps of young (& rich) people (but also VERY hard to find a bloody car park, especially if you have visitors over). One of the few residential streets in Brisbane that is pretty busy nearly 24 hours with nightlife, and people excercising and driving expensive cars - lived here a far bit and loved it, but is very busy and suits the 20 to early 30 singles & couples with no kids.
