Looking to move from UK to Brisbane in January

Hi all,

I’m looking to move from UK to Brisbane in January with my wife, two kids, and dog (we’ve started the vaccine/quarantine process).

Just looking for some advice on suburbs. I’ll be working remotely, so I don’t need to be too close to CBD.

Most important aspects are safety, schools, and house for money.

Ideally I’m looking to rent for 2-3 years, get my kids into school as soon as possible, then buy a house in the same area so the kids don’t have to change school again. Looking at a budget of ~$1k a week then, when we come to buy, a budget of ~$2M.

I’ve mostly been looking at Kenmore, The Gap, Ferny Hills, and Bridgeman Downs from all the research I’ve done.

Would be grateful for any suggestions in other suburbs to consider over the above, or any thoughts on the ones I’ve been considering.

Thanks in advance!
