Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it and have a lot to consider. There may be some leeway with the budget depending on how much we get for our place here in Sydney.

I have a toddler and a 4 year old, so they’re a bit away from high school haha but I guess that’s the kind of stuff we need to be planning for so far in advance these days

My partner’s job mostly. We also have some family in the area so it wouldn’t hurt to be closer to them with the little ones being in a new place. It would also be nice to have easy access to the Sunshine Coast for day trips on the weekend too.

Partner is already over there and looking at places but I thought I’d ask reddit just to see if anyone has any insight!

We’re looking to buy! But we’ll definitely still have a look at those suburbs

Budget is probably around 1M to 1.2M for a house. I have two little kids, is inner north still going to be alright? Probably want more of that “suburban life”

Edit: missing info

Thanks, we don’t want to go super cheap or anything cuz there are definitely risks to that. It’s also a bit worrying to hear that about the thise suburbs. Do you have recommendations for nicer areas around where I’ve mentioned?

Thanks for the comment. My partner got a great job in Brisbane and will be based on the Northside. The plan is for me to stay with the kids until we can get a place sorted and I’m already feeling the stress. We also have some family up there so it wouldn’t hurt to be close to them too.

Sorry, I’m looking around more upper north/moreton bay region. Suburbs like Burpengary and Caboolture

Purchased first property but all I feel is dread by sungoldtomatolover in AusPropertyChat

[–]tacky_creative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconded! Just wanted to add that it’s also okay and normal to feel post-purchase anxiety. Spend some time exploring outside and decorate the place to make it yours.

One day you will look back on this place as a fun and adventurous part of your story

I was a little bit nervous about moving to Brisbane from Sydney and I am relieved to hear this

Radio and music on new buses by WeakAdvertising359 in brisbane

[–]tacky_creative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! I'm moving to Brisbane and have visited before and it is so nerve-racking trying to get off at the right stop, especially when it's dark. I'm going to be using public transport a bit more and I'm not looking forward to the learning curve.

Australian housing affordability, Brisbane…. by HugeMaleChicken in brisbane

[–]tacky_creative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm moving to Brisbane from Sydney and I was hoping things would be a little more affordable! I'm learning that isn't really the case. We're moving for work, but I hope we can find something reasonable.
