We originally moved to Carina from Balmoral as a temporary measure with the aim of moving back to Balmoral or Bulimba, after 5 years in Carina we have no desire to leave our place. Large blocks, very quite and a close community spirit make Carina (North) a hidden gem. Our house is so close to Camp Hill and Seven Hills but more affordable. The new East Village will be a boon for the local area and can't wait to enjoy the facilities once it's built. Getting to the Sunshine Coast is very easy and the airport is 15 mins drive tops! 13 mins into the city on a good run and Westfield just up the road. Glad we bought when we did given its proximity and infrastructure including ADSL 2.
