The joy of living in Caroline Street is that - apart from the weekend trips to visit friends - we hardly use our car!

Caroline Street is walking distance to all public transport - bus or train take your choice! 30minutes from home to desk in the CBD is great. With the recent addition of the train noise barrier the train noise has been reduced significantly to the point where we don't notice it anymore.

It is also a short bike ride or a good walk to St Lucia campus for student. A 5 minute walk to Coles and amenities at Fairfield Gardens. A short drive and you hit West End's restaurant strips. We love living here and its proximity to everything. Even the best coffee in Brisbane - Evo on School Road at Yeerongpilly.

The population in the area is moving to include many more younger families and every afternoon there are plenty of new parents out for a walk with their kids. The Corso is only a 10 minute walk away and provides for a great backdrop for runs or walks.

We have never had any problems with security and safety. We haven't heard of any neighbours having any problems either.

Resale wise this suburb is a winner! Our place has more than doubled in value since we purchased it 5 years ago.
