Where in Brisbane is great for coffee scene, trendy and good for families?

we are a family moving to Brisbane. Being from Melbourne admittidly I find it hard to migrate up here, but my husbands job required it. I have found it hard to get a rental house in Paddinton, and newfarm, as we want a pool and backyard for the kids with 4 bedrooms and study. Its getting way too expensive in these areas, so if you can let me in on other amazing places to live with a cool scene, instead of the "suburbia" feel.. which I get too bored in. Also near good primary schools for the kids..
