"Chapel Hill - my home my heart..."
We moved to Chapel Hill five years ago and we love it here! It is a green and leafy suburb with a relaxing welcoming vibe. We are close to bus routes and not far from Indooroopilly Train line if needed. We are spoiled for choice when shopping and so close to the country if we feel like a complete change - the best of all worlds. Our dog loves exploring the neighbourhood and we have met so many interesting people on our walks. The Mt Coot-tha reserve is in our backyard so we enjoy nature in great abundance. Less and less do we feel the need to leave our local area because we feel so comfortable and peaceful in Chapel Hill. Access to the airport for holidays and other trips has been made easy with Legacy Way so close to us. Morning commutes can be challenging at peak hour so locals need to find ways to manage their journey until upgrades are implemented. In every other respect this is a super suburb for its lifestyle and location. I think they will have to carry us out of Chapel Hill in a box before we decide to leave!! All newcomers welcome ❤❤

Hi Rebecca not sure if you and family have made the move up north but yes the community here in Chapel Hill is friendly to say the least. We moved from Sydney October last year and never look back. If you need school, Indooroopilly State primary and high schools are both highly ranked in QLD although with the former it's quite competitive and you'd need to live within its catchment area - tip is to rent within the catchment, enrol the children then move if need be. Otherwise Chapel State State Primary School is also good. Indooroopilly is bit too crowded to our liking and like tonij3 alluded to it's an easy short drive from Chapel Hill. Sorry haven't been to Bardon much but all the best with your move!
Hi thanks for your reply! I decided on chapel hill and are in the process of enrolling the kids to the local school. I was there in Oct and was sold by the pretty jacaranda trees! I hope your move went well. Thanks again!
Sudt, how did you find the move and relocation. Is it what you expected? What would your tips be for a family about to move? Also did you check out Bardon.
Hello, congrats on making the move and it sounds like everythings worked out well. We're a family of 4 and are planning to relocate from Melbourne to brissy later this year. We are also considering indoorapilly and Barden. Do you find the chapel hill community is friendly and why did you choose chapel hill (as opposed to indoorapilly?). I really appreciate your feedback on the move and the suburb itself. It looks lovely!
Thanks
Rebecca
