Karana Downs, Mount Crosby or Bellbowrie just West of Brisbane. About a half hour into the city, but plenty of infrastructure around the area. Lots of great school, big blocks, shopping, close to the Brisbane River.
i live in west gippsland where we have just bought (this year) a brand spanking new gorgeous 4 bedroom plus study house with three living areas, in the foothills of the mountains... we can see mountains from the front and back of our place... its about a 3 minute walk to schools, has hospitals about 15-20mins away, and is about an hour and ten minutes into the city by car... plenty of people commute by train if they work in the city too.
our house is gorgeous and around 40 squares under roofline, so is fairly massive, and cost us about $400K..... you could get a smaller house but still 4 bedrooms for heaps less, especially if it wasn't a brand spanking new one.
i had lived in inner city melbourne all my life and am now out here and love it. its a great place for bringing up kids.
i do miss some things about the city though, but not the people and traffic!
I was actually just looking at Frankston in Melbourne - was stunned to find a gold mine of nice houses on large blocks in the good part of frankston for under 400k....Check out Frankston def!
