Been thinking of new places to live, I don't mind the look of Spring Hill - it seems like an ok area but it I get the impression that its still full of vagrants/drug users/derros in some parts. I like the general appearance of the area, its quite asthetically appealing, although a little expensive. But its significantly cheaper than the CBD or West End, which are other areas I don't mind. Does anyone here live in Spring Hill?

What about Gordon Park, anyone live there?

i worked in spring hill, great place. any city has drugos ect. CBD is 5mins walk.

although a little expensive

mate had a 3 bedroom house for $300 a week. pretty dam good if u ask me.

Gordon Park Rocks. Anywhere North side inner city you will be good. Gordon Park, Stafford, Wavell Heights, Chermside, Virginia(half industrial though. But the smell from Arnotts is to die for) Geebung, Boondall and toombull is the shiz.

Yeah that is good though I've seen the new apartments going for around 300 a week for 2 bedrooms. I just don't want to move into some place at Spring Hill only to find out its a gay apartment block (literally!!). I'm also curious as to why its so cheap... I mean some places in the city go around $600-700 a week for 2 bedroom!!

What about the toombul boys tho????

True. Forget i mentioned Toombull.

But all of those suburbs. 15minute drive to the city give or take. 22minutes from sunshine train station. (Stopping at all stations :()

I used to play tennis in smelling distance of arnotts - very hard to chase a stupid furry green ball around a slab of concrete with all those luvly smells wafting past.

yeah, i live in spring hill. so far the derros/druggies/drunks don't seem to be a problem. only problem is the drunk clubbers from the valley staggering past my house and singing some god awful tune every weekend.

but yeah it rocks, walk to work in the city (or freeloop if i'm feeling lazy), then walk to the valley on the weekends, stagger back home. rinse-repeat

15min drive to the city from chermside? not in peak hour my good man. i live in clayfield/wooloowin and its 15mins to the city from here on a good day. on a bad day its 25-30. but much <3 for the ICB.

15mins In medium traffic. 20 mins in peak hour. But thats 20 mins to roma street. So about 25 mins to "The City"

spring hill is very divided, the wrong areas and you get halfway houses, the good areas and the price skyrockets. im in milton and loving it, great location, close to everything, and a 5 minute drive into the city/valley. its great.

yer, ive lived in spring hill as well
was fine (although we did watch the cops take away a dead dude from next door)

was expensive, but more than made up for it with the convenience of being able to walk to and from the valley

although that got a bit tired, when id come home from working all nite and there would be a house full of party people, when i just wanted to sleep . ..

Gordon Park, Stafford, Wavell Heights, Chermside

damn right!

I'm working in sping hill and some part of it is still dodgy. Though around St. Paul Tavern and all new dev. aread seem to be ok even at night.

Spring hill isnt that bad, one of the moest expensive private schools is in the area lol

wavell heights ftw.

geebung is a ghetto.

hahahah
classic
boonies on the northside

well its an expensive ghetto. 300k for a turdbox on a main road.

Nah Zillmere is the ghetto of the Northside.

And dude the Toombul boyz? Seriously? Those guys died out like 5+ yrs ago.

Southside!!!!!!!

as much as it pains me to say it

im with kat

I lived in Spring Hill all of last year and loved it ... we did get broken into about a week before I moved out though, but caught them in the end. So long as you get to know your neighbours and keep things locked up there's no real issue, and there's always lots of secured apartment buildings in the area now.
