Hi all,

Not sure if this is the best forum as it seems to be mostly about the merits of PI, but I am considering buying a PPOR in the next few years. I have looked at a lot of suburbs, and one that seems to stand out for me is Algester (Brisbane) Seems to be some properties there at a reasonable price and seems a decent place to start a family one day. I also considered Ormeau too for similar reasons. Does anyone have any thoughts on places they know that they rate as nice places to buy and live that they would like to share?


If not all good, this thread can always be buried under some bull bear war thread soon enough lol

What are you looking for, and what price suits you.

Algester is quite a good area - Have you looked at Parkinson?

Hey,

Nothing to fancy, a nice 3bedroom house, pool would be an added bonus :)

Anything over 400k I'd struggle, but if I am buying with someoen then 500k woudl be easy.

Parkinson I would consider as well, like Algester seems like a nice enough place. More looking for the suburb vibe, Kuraby for example is nicely affordable, but the suburb has gone down hill as a place to live from what I have heard and seen.

Maybe Bellbowrie/Moggill? Only problem is that if you get up on a hill you can actually see Ipswich. :lol

Very nice family suburbs, some bigger blocks still available, and lots of 3-4B stuff available around $350k.

The commute into CBD can be a bit of a shit, but that also means the value will go up nicely if and when they ever get around to building the arterial that has been in the plan for 20 years.

I was also taken with Samford the one time I drove through it.

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

If you don't mind a bit of traffic noise you can buy in Darra for well under $300,000

There is plenty to choose from.

Moggill is a minimum 55min commute into or out of the city via PT. I've caught the 444 a few times and sometimes it would take up to 70 mins for the journey

You'd be better off in Ipswich where the PT is at least decent!!

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy.

Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
