We moved to Chapel Hill 1 year ago. We were unfamiliar with the area but got lost in some back streets trying to find some walking trails in Mount Cootha. Well we are very glad we got lost! We fell in love with the area straight away. It feels as though you are miles away from the city but have all the conveniences of Indooroopilly, Kenmore and the city close by.

When we were first looking at suitable suburbs, we wanted to buy somewhere with a train line; Chapel Hill doesn't have train access- instead it has an amazing cycle route into the city. It is exactly 10km on the bike which takes me half an hour. I ride to work every day, along with many of my neighbours. It is fantastic.

Another important thing to note is the demographic here: because of the position (with the university and lots of good schools) there are many academics living here, from all over the world. This gives it a really cool vibe (and very interesting conversations while walking the dog).

We love this suburb.
