Love living in West End. Plenty of excellent cafes, restaurants and fabulous pubs predominantly situated on Boundary Street. Great stretch of asian restaurants all serving fab food with byo on Hardgrave Road. I also love the colourful, alternative vibe here that makes other Brisbane suburbs appear bland (trust me, I've lived in other suburbs!!). Great Saturday farmers markets and Friday night markets where you can eat yummy stall food. The ONLY downside however is the level of development work going on especially down by the river where we live. There are 3 huge apartment blocks being built next to us, 6.30 am starts, bulldozers, forklift trucks etc etc. Walking from Boundary Street to our unit, we counted 9 big apartment bocks being built. If you don't mind construction work live down by the river, otherwise avoid and look for something closer to Boundary Street hub or Highgate Hill border. If I wasn't moving to Sydney mid next year I'd be giving up my lease here and doing exactly that. Even though I love the unit we're leasing the noise is forcing us out
