Lived in Pelham street for a number of years, great street in terms of location and the park is a great community meeting point for events and parties. There are no units in the street and I think this has led to many people investing significant money into renovations- don’t think you can over capitalise here.

Coorparoo is a fantastic place with an abundance of lifestyle opportunities. The recent development in Coorparoo junction has transformed the area into one of the best inner city restaurant/shopping/entertainment precincts that has taken over from Bulimba for the premier inner city area in the south/east side of town. Coorparoo has a wide variety of housing options- from new and older units in the junction area through to streets of well renovated traditional Queenslander style houses and art deco and Californian bungalow. My pick of areas in Coorparoo would be on the ridge lines of the heights- from Pelham street through to Buena Vista- green with amazing city views- great public transport and close to exclusive private as well as very good public schools.

Moved to Kensington from Brisbane 12 months ago and could not be happier. Easy access to city, the south Perth foreshore, cafes and shops of Vic Park, airport, with great schools (private and public) and Curtin Uni campus close by or within Kensington. The suburb itself seems to be a bit of a hidden gem as it is quite small and carries the same post code as South Perth which is considered an exclusive suburb. We considered inner northern and western suburbs which are either similar price or more expensive and found Kensington to be best value for money.
