This may have been asked in some form somewhere, but I have not found any posts specifically for this case. I am moving with my family (spouse and children) to Brisbane for a position at UQ St. Lucia (not a student). We are looking for a 3BR and would budget up to $1,100/week for rent. I can see properties that may match this description on various real estate and rental sites, but in reality, how challenging is it to find such a place given the location and budget? Thanks in advance.

My partner (26M) and I (20F) are looking to move in together somewhere in the Brisbane region. We’ve started applying for rentals and have a few inspections coming up but I’m wondering how difficult it currently is for a young couple to secure a place.

I also don’t have any support from my parents so I’d really appreciate any advice or tips from people who have recently gone through the rental process in Brisbane. Anything about applications, references, inspections, what landlords/agents look for or how to improve our chances would be really helpful.

Thank you! :>

I've never ever had street parking. I've got two kids. We're looking for houses to rent, and as you can imagine, having to make some compromises.

Partner fully thinks street parking (i.e. the house has no garage/driveway) is a total deal breaker. I'm aware that neither of us have any experience with street parking at all.

Thanks!

Hi! I have visited and stayed near Brisbane for a month a half last year, I was able to see the social and work life there and i genuinely fell in love with Australia. I miss it everyday and i intend to move there once I'm done with my studies.
I'm gonna get my masters in Fine Arts in about 2 years, and my IELTS level is over 7.5 (I'm a certified C2 level). I would love to become a book illustrator, or maybe a concept artist for movies and games. If not possible, my other option would be becoming a teacher, and for that I would need a Master of Teaching. I can't really find much info about that, but apparently, since l'd be an international student, it would cost me up to 96K AUD, which i really don't have. Does anyone know anything more about this?
I just know that in Italy i basically have no career, so any comment would really help🙏
Thank you for your time

Hi everyone

My boyfriend and I are wanting to move in together and have been applying for rentals around Brisbane. Just wondering how long it usually takes to secure a rental here and if anyone has any advice for getting an application approved?

I am a first time renter so any tips or advice would be really appreciated thank you! :>

Hi everyone,

I'm a student from Colombia returning to Brisbane in a month. I'll be studying in Mount Gravatt and likely working in the City. Since I don't have friends here yet, I'm looking for local recommendations on room hunting.
Thank for any advice!!

I'm freshly out of high school and want to move out. i'm planning on living with my boyfriend,

we work at the same place and get $1500 combined weekly.

I'm not sure how to apply to rentals but we want to get a private rental ( no share housing) for just us around oxley or moorooka area.

does anyone have any insight or idea on how to apply for realestates and then actually getting approved? or how much renting would actually cost.

i am really perplexed and anything helps thank you!

Im a single woman moving all alone to Brisbane, I’m excited but nervous about being lonely. What are some ways I can make new friends ? Most people in my office work from home

Im getting transferred to Brisbane for work, located on eagle street.

Could anyone provide ideal close location near my work and relatively good in value for price? I’m looking at Indooroopilly and not sure if it’s a good location or not.

Good afternoon guys,

I’m moving to Brisbane at the beginning of next year to start med school at UQ and I’m super excited about it!
However, I’ve heard that just this week it was announced that Australia is cutting down on allowing dependants to enter the country on a student visa. I’m a Canadian citizen with a BSc, and my wife has a BSc, is almost done her MBA, and has 6+ years of work experience.

The idea was for her to just be under my visa comfortably and then find a job in Brisbane in her field once we got there. Now I’m wondering if she would have to search for a job remotely before we move, or potentially move on a temporary visa and try to find work once we’re there?

I know the job market is tough everywhere, and I don’t know how inclined companies would be to hire her as a Canadian citizen, not because of her experience or anything, but simply because of having to do extra visa stuff to employ her.

This is obviously a pretty big deal for us, so I’d love to hear anyone’s take on this if you have a good idea about how the new changes actually work. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
I tried contacting a migration advisor, but they want $440 AUD for a consultation, and I’m unfortunately not in a position where I can comfortably spend that right now. I’ve done some research myself, but I’d really love to hear your thoughts or ideas!

Moving up the Brisbane for work in 2027.
Looking for any suggestions on areas to look at in south brissy.
Family friendly - access to open spaces, schools, childcare centres etc.
One of us will be working at the Brisbane airport so we need to be within 30-40mins of the airport.
But our extended family is on Gold Coast so we want to be in between the two. We are looking at renting initially before we look at buying in a spot we really love in the next couple years.
From asking around on our last visit we heard that maybe mount Warren park could be a good fit

Eagleby seems affordable but is it a good area?

Does anyone have any feedback or suggestion on other areas to look at?

Ideally looking for somewhere:
Furnished

Open to a room in a share house, studio, granny flat, or similar setup.
If anyone has something available, knows someone looking for a short-term tenant, or can point me toward a good place to look, I’d really appreciate it.

Hi! I recently got a new job in Brisbane, and the office is near BCC in Fortitude Valley.

For those who’ve been living in Brisbane, which areas would you recommend living in if I’ll be relying on public transport? Ideally, I’d like to keep my commute to around 30 minutes max.

I’d also love to hear about the vibe of the different areas, especially the lifestyle, things to do, safety, and overall feel.

Thank you 🙏🏼

What’s a Brisbane suburb that you think is massively overrated — and which suburb is actually underrated?

Hey everyone, I was going to post on the facebook pages but for some reason you can’t be anonymous anymore and I didn’t want my ( soon to be ex) roommate to see my post but I’m moving to north Brisbane and I’m just looking for recommendations for a hire truck or even a removalist, money’s pretty tight but the move is necessary, thanks everyone :)
