Woking Street is the link between three suburbs - Arana Hills, Mitchelton and Keperra. It is not often thought of as being part of Keperra (proper) but it actually is. Some motorsists take a short cut down Woking Street to avoid peak hour traffic on Dawson Pde, so there is some traffic in teh morning, otherwise the street is very quiet. It is close to walking tracks, Kedron Brook, train, Kmart shopping cetnre, Arana Leagues Club. A lot of properties have been sold recently on and around Woking Street and are currently being renovated, it is anticipated this corner will continue to increase in value.

Keperra is a wonderful place to live with huge potential. We live within close proximity to three shopping centres, there are heaps of walking tracks, bikeways, a golf course, schools and the state forest behind Samford Valley and toward Mt Glorious or Dayboro are only a short drive away. Keperra is very reasonably priced for where it is situated with so many amenities a short drive or walk away. The western corridor of Brisbane doesn’t currently have the road infrastructure of the south or north, or as many cafe and restaurant options because it is less populated. This is a good thing, because when the roads are finally upgraded (which is gradually happening) there will not be the same problems currently being experienced on the major arteries of the South and North. The council has been busy building footpaths, roundabouts, new traffic signals and some intersections, but these things take time. I often drive to work in the city and it only takes around 20-25 minutes in the middle of peak hour, if you can use the T2 lane (through the Gap). It has never taken me 50 minutes to get to town; however it’s impossible to avoid peak hour traffic anywhere in inner city Brisbane. A new tunnel at the end of Stafford Road will make the trip to the airport even quicker, and there is an intersection upgrade happening at Wardell and Samford Roads. The Ferny Grove train line has been upgraded numerous times over the last few months and a new carpark is being built at Ferny Grove Station, the train line is a major plus of Keperra. Soon, nearly all trains will have Wifi and are also being refit. It is rare to find a suburb that doesn’t have at least some drawbacks or 'good' and 'bad' tenants (try Bardon or Ashgrove that are three times the price) and I would say the drawbacks with Keperra are that its potential has not been completely realised. If you can get a place that is close to this many amenities, under 25 mins from the city, with trains, shopping centres, parks, great schools and only a short drive from the scenic areas west of Brisbane – go for it!
