If you suddenly found yourself with an enormous pile of cash to spend, which suburb would you move to in Brisbane?
There’s a lot of choices… do you go for a loft in the city? A converted warehouse in some of the city’s cooler suburbs? Some swish inner city location where the party never stops? Or perhaps somewhere a little further out, where it’s more scenic and quiet?
Let everyone know where you’d set up sticks if you had the cash, and why.

There is a massive big house and block at Yeronga, down on the River side, but on a hill back a bit from the river frontage. It has a 6″ high fence all around, but when sitting in a bus, up high, you can see that they have a big gazebo, a tennis court and I think possibly a pool. It’s a huge block of land (maybe three standard blocks) and the house is a beautiful old sprawling colonial, in excellent condition.
I want it. So bad I could cry.
Stefan’s house! I would feel his brush against my face.
I already live in Manly harbour village, Brisbane, Queensland and thought I’d found the perfect place. Now some greedy developers want to turn it into a cloned suburb with cinemas, tall buildings etc etc. If money was no object I would buy them off!
Paddinton, off LaTrobe Tce, where all the McMansions are. :D
High above the CBD in an imposing dirigible.
I used to live in Paddington but now live at Bribie Island. I wouldn’t move back to city. It’s beautiful up here, and only 40 min drive ti city if need be.
Those villa things on Macquarie Road in Teneriffe. I walked in and the first thing I said was…I want one..now.
I’ve never found a suburb in Brisbane that makes me ache to live there, unlike some other cities in Australia such as Perth and Adelaide. I’ve come to terms with the suburb I live in, and that makes it best for me as we’ve put down deep roots here, and are deeply involved in local community. Several suburbs with ‘all’ the services there seem good: Strathpine, Shorncliffe, Cleveland.
Kangaroo Point if the public transport was better, otherwise yeronga area.
Hamilton/ Ascot. A great family friendly area close to everything.
If money were no object I would not choose to live in Brisbane.
I would live near my grandmother in Fairfield – she’s close to the shops, the train, the bus – so getting anywhere would be easy and I could join her for sponge cake in the afternoons :)
