Mate
also try realestate.com.au
they aren't too bad, but a lot of the real estate agents will have more houses on their own sites or in their shop window than they list there. Good for an idea of cost and what you get for your $$$$$

go northside, you would be lucky to get a house closeish to the city for less than $250. We are out at Albany Creek (maybe about 20kms) from the city, and we were paying $210 for a good house before we bought one. that 20kms is a real guess!!! Good luck with it.

rhys.

wrote a whole book for u about oxley corinda etc...but rather than bore everyone sent it in a u2u...

family have lived in this area for over three decades...oxley is good...corinda better...and yes, agents in the area dont advert the lower priced houses...and they go pretty quick..so ask for lists to be sent...and call them each week for it if necessary.

neway u2u explains...also which agents for area are good and bad, or what their weaknesses tend to be...

cheers

Kedron is a nice spot, pretty close to the city. Nice old houses there that have been reno'd. But hey i am a northside girl, so i am not sure about oxley. All i know is that is where the Police Academy is......not much else. Good luck with it.

i can tell you straight off that anything under $250 in red hill is almost falling to bits (alot of the time even $275 is falling to bits)... not many houses that close to the city in good nick/with garage that close to the city (i live in paddington which is the next suburb along) if you have pets, dont even think about it... pet friendly houses in red hill almost dont exist!

if you are lucky you can find a good sized house in bardon (~6-10kms from city) for $250. they mostly have garages and alot are fenced, so pets are good🙂 its also right on the state forest, so heaps of wildlife and trees 🙂

oxley and corinda are pretty good suburbs, i have many friends that live there. nice and close to transport and shops and not too far from the city.

strangely enough, the next suburb from oxley, tennyson, has some amazingly cheap houses (right next to the million dollar mansions!!) public transport to tennyson sucks though.

the gap is always a good choice... you can get some huge rental houses for an absolute steal, and there are HEAPS of busses out there until very late. it too is right next to state forest, so lots of greenery, and its pretty pet friendly as well.

whats your mode of transport to work in the CBD going to be? that info would help alot!
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Oxley is a good suburb.
I grew up there and spent 16yrs living there.
And it is only 20min from the CBD.

I live in kelvin grove which is definately a good suburb, however we pay $360 a week for a 3 bedder. if you look out a bit further like maybe newmarket, kedron, the gap, ferny grove (where i grew up) you will find something cheaper. Im a northside girl, there tends to be a division in this city, right where the river runs through. Strange that......

There is definately a bit of a northside VS southside debate in brissie. I have never lived on the southside.......don't know if i could. Don't go to the darkside Rhys!

Go northside, so much easier to get into the city.

If you have to cross the river to get to town youre screwed.

kkk

I reackon southside, find one of the major transport routes and get as close to that eg railway line, or major road. But wouldn't go any further than evans road south, unlless you go way south. Also holland park sort of area is nice and also east if vry nice, norman park, camp hill, cannon hill area etc. Southside is much nicer.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Holland Park, Mt Gravatt and that general area are pretty nice.............also close to the busway.................Salisbury, Coopers Plains. Moorooka area not too bad and close to trains.

im a big fan of the southside... lived in west end for 4 years 😀
im now a big fan of the west-side...

looks like this thread is all about taking sides :P

if you will be bussing it, then most places in brissy have a bus going at least every hour, many every half an hour and quite a few every 15 minutes!

One thing with the buses is check where youa re wanting to travel, if you need to go across town eg south to west. it can be very hard, unless you want to go via the city.
