I bought an apartment in May 2022 in the area between Beaudesert Rd and Ipswich Rd, and didn't really know what to expect, having never lived in Moorooka before. It's a wonderful, friendly, neighbourly suburb, with great parks, beautiful, big trees, and a strong sense of community. The houses are all unique and have their own style, with a lot of older homes and Queenslanders, pretty gardens, and lush tree-lined streets. Moorooka is incredibly convenient, so close to South Bank and Brisbane City on the train and bus, which makes for a stress-free commute. The people in Moorooka are the best! Everyone says hello. So many great places are in close proximity, such as the shops and supermarket on Beaudesert Rd, schools and child care facilities, other nice suburbs like Sherwood and Yeronga, Oxley Creek Common and Toohey Forest for long walks, Rocklea Markets for fruit and veg, and Moorooka Clubhouse which is family friendly and fun. There is public transport connectivity to Garden City, Indooroopilly, and South Bank, the City and Fortitude Valley. This suburb just keeps surprising me. Thanks to the cross-river rail project, the train station will be refurbished and made accessible soon. The prices in Moorooka are still quite low given how close it is to the city. I feel like I've made a very good investment in buying here.
