Having helped many families and businesses relocate smoothly, we know which suburbs offer lifestyle perks, transport links, schools and value. We’ve lived this, moved this—and helped others do it stress‑free.
1. Paddington & Red Hill – Weekend markets and village feel
These inner-city suburbs strike a fine balance between charm and convenience. Think leafy streets, vintage shops and coffee spots—just minutes from the CBD. Ideal for people who love weekend strolls and café culture. And if you need help moving those more fragile items? The team at XMovers wraps and loads with care so you can relax and explore.
2. New Farm & Teneriffe – Riverside living
Craving riverside walks and artsy galleries? New Farm and Teneriffe deliver with parklands like New Farm Park and weekend events. Fantastic public transport makes getting into the city easy—even on a bike or ferry. Need a furniture uplift? We’re ready with clean company‑owned trucks, blanket padding and shrink wrap at no extra cost. So your vintage finds arrive safe and sound.
3. West End & Highgate Hill – Culture meets community
For those drawn to bohemian cafés, weekend markets and a strong community vibe, West End and Highgate Hill are hard to beat. Great cafés, arts spaces and multicultural dining lie within reach. Plus, buses and bike paths make it simple to navigate. Want packing help? We can assist with full pre-pack and unpack services—just let us know.
4. Carindale & Carina – Family friendly with shopping convenience
These suburbs offer leafy streets, quality schools and large homes. Carindale Shopping Centre is a short walk or drive, and public transport is solid. Grabbing a fixed‑quote from XMovers is easy, with clear pricing and no surprise charges. You can feel confident in your budget while you focus on moving-in day.
5. Chermside & Aspley – Northside reliability
Known for excellent amenities and access to the highway network, Chermside and Aspley offer shopping, schools, parks and hospitals all nearby. Families find life here comfortable and practical. When you book, our team leader (with over 600 moves done) oversees each job. Communication stays open from first call to final unload.
6. Greenslopes & Mount Gravatt – Southside comfort
For a calm, established lifestyle with easy access to major roads and train lines, this area fits the bill. Local café life and leafy parks make weekends relaxing. And if you’ve got bulky items—like pianos, pool tables or second‑hand furniture—our fully equipped trucks and experienced crew will handle them carefully.
What to think about before you move
Lifestyle vs commute
Do you want central buzz or suburban quiet? Inner suburbs mean shorter commutes but less space. Outer suburbs offer room to grow yet may add travel time.
Schools and community vibe
Want local schools or playgrounds nearby? Suburbs like Carindale or Greenslopes offer mature, family‑oriented streets. Meanwhile West End feels younger, more creative.
Public transport and shopping
Suburbs with good bus, train or ferry access like New Farm deliver convenience. Shopping hubs like Carindale and Chermside offer almost everything within walking distance.
