No probs, Mindy. Buranda State School is apparently excellent! And it’s a nice part of the world.

Try somewhere around Buranda/Annerley/Greenslopes – should fit the criteria and about 5ks from the city – houses around $350 a week.

I suspect ‘close to the city’ might be dropping off the list then. They can probably go to around $500 per week, since it’s a work thing.

Thanks, Dr Cat. And what Audrey and others said about Adelaide!

What suburbs would Brisbanites recommend they look in?

Mindy, rentals are horrendous in Brisbane at the moment so a good starting point would probably be budget. “Close to the city” is gonna cost really big bucks for a house unfortunately.

I’m with nic and also Audrey – the pics make me very homesick, particularly of my beloved uni, and though I also left Madame Adelaide a few years ago, I always find her ample bosom warm and welcoming upon each return.

If moving slower than other cities is the price is pays to maintain its friendliness, cleanliness, beautiful coastline and f$%k-off Shirazes, then so be it.

Friends of ours are moving to Brisvegas in the new year. They will be renting and are looking for a house, 3-4 bedrooms, nice area, close to primary schools and the city. What suburbs would Brisbanites recommend they look in?

Nice pics, Mark. Particularly that one of Elder Hall looking tragic in the rain.

Oi! Adelaide is a complicated mistress, but a hole she ain’t. She may not have the flashy lights of other cities, but she keeps me warm at night.

Nic – The Worst of Perth has been doing the same for me.

Thanks, WoP – although perhaps better to comment on your actual site!
