Good family suburbs within 20-30 mins of Carole Park QLD

We've lived in Brisbane before (for 3 or so years) West Lake, Forest Lake and Yerongpilly, none of which impressed me and I was even less impressed with the schools in those suburbs also.

We're currently in country QLD, 6hrs inland from Brisbane but the job we moved here for didn't work out.

DH has been talking to someone about a job located in Carole Park, so would love some ideas of where I should look for rentals which are 20-30 mins max from there but are still nice green leafy family suburbs with a good school.

I'm stumped, I've been looking online but we never really knew Brisbane well.

Thanks!

I used to live in Camira, which is the suburb next to Carole Park. I only had one baby then though so I don't know much about the schools etc. Stay away from Gailes and Goodna, but Springfield and Springfield lakes were quite nice places. There is a school at Carole Park. Springfield Lakes had a new shopping mall and there is a uni campus there but I am not sure what schools are around. I vaguely remember passing one but it was 5 years of crap sleep ago so I can't be sure.

Being down that way doesn't really interest me, would rather be back towards to city or towards the coast.

Looking at around $500 pw.

Have to find a suburb I love to even consider this move!!

Regents Park we need someone to take our lease and you have the choice of about 4 public schools in a 2km radius

Haha I don't even know how all of this is going to work, we're locked in here until June. Was thinking of sending DH down on his own until then but I don't want him staying with the in laws because I'm hoping we can hide the fact we've moved!

Which is why spring field is out because one of his sisters is down that way.

He can come bunk with us at the new place we got room And just break your lease like we are lol

I was going to suggest Springfield Lakes, Augustine Heights,Brookwater area too but your not wanting to go out that way so im not much of a help...best of luck with the move!

Indooroopilly, Chapel Hill and Kenmore all have excellent schools. And you are against the traffic to get to Carole Park, so it would be probably 15 minutes or so. They are leafy, established suburbs. Typical inhabitants are professional Dad and a part time working mum. The only thing that your rent budget might not stretch to much. Also could look at Fig Tree Pocket as well.

Yeah I've looked at those bloom and they are all around the $500 mark.

Mt Ommaney and Middle Park areas are alright too.
