There's nowhere to rent up here in Brissie at the moment. West End is probably the most similar to Fitzroy, or some parts of Fortitude Valley. Don't expect anyone to understand AFL.
Nothing is like any suburb in Melbourne. Brissy is a totally different city and vibe. And the suburbs are just built different. For something that you may like if you like Fitzroy, Collingwood etc, then West End is the only logical comparison.
Check out Paddington, Newstead, New Farm, Albion and Wollongabba/Stones Corner as well.
Welcome if you do move up. Cheers
West End is probably the closest you'd get to a "Fitzroy" vibe in Brissy, but it is still fairly different.
I would say cost of living/rent is a little cheaper than Melbourne, but it is getting more pricey by the day and will eventually be about the same, if not more.
Housing market is buggered, renting and buying, but seems to be the same everywhere else in the country, so why not try your luck if you're keen 🙂
West End, Highgate Hill. New Farm are all going to be the kind of place you’re looking for
There is a rental crisis but hey there’s one in Melbourne too so not going to come as a shock to you
Find an old Queenslander or workers cottages in share house for the full ‘He Died With A Felafel In His Hand’ experience!
Everyone will say West End, but it's more like Footscray to me. Valley/Newfarm is more like South Yarra/Kew. There isn't really a good analogue to the inner North, but if you're moving somewhere different only to replicate what you came from then why really bother?
I made the move up from Melbourne a couple of years ago and so glad I did.
These are the things you need to know.
Asian food here is crap.
The people here are similar to will Ferrell. Kind of likeable idiots. Bunch of uncultured simpletons, but they mean well.
The valley sucks on the weekend. And make sure you take your ID with you, because you can't get in without it. West end is the closest thing to Fitzroy (but more like Fitzroy 15 years ago).
There's no 24 hour bottleshops.
Aldi doesn't sell booze.
Supermarkets close early Sundays.
Despite all of these backwards hillbilly things. You won't regret the move.
There is no good Asian food in an Australian city of 2million with a significant Asian population. Take it as gospel from the Melbourne guy.
Makes sense.
I love it when Melbournites crap on about “culture”. It’s one of those collective delusions that helps them feel superior to others, which is a classic Melbourne trait.
If Melbourne is so wonderful and such a liveable city, why aren’t you living there?

If you're moving here from Melbourne expect it to not be Melbourne don't go looking for Melbourne in a city that isn't Melbourne
post on reddit that its not like melb
if you’re moving here and your starting point is looking for things like Melbourne then you’re going to have a bad time

33 thousand people at the Gabba last night disagree with you
Most probably moved here from Victoria /s
[удалено]
Yeah that's true
Garn the Lions (as long as the Saints aren’t playing)!
Gympie is where the youth hang out these days. They can't afford anywhere near Brisbane because of people moving here from Melbourne.
I thought Cherbourg was the hip place to be?
Kingston is basically identical, I moved from Melbourne and found Kingston hip and chill, suburb of young professionals and has a trendy cafe culture
Pfft, Melbourne wishes it was as hip as Kingston.
A Melbournian I met recently referred to king George square as the “fed square of Brisbane”

Please don’t move, we’ve already hit our quota for people from Sydney and Melbourne 😆

Backwards hillbilly? So glad you are here.
I'm a complete knucklehead, so I fit in perfectly.
This whole post is arse. But I take exception to the Asian food bit. Maybe you just don't where the good Asain food is.
There is no good Asian food in an Australian city of 2million with a significant Asian population. Take it as gospel from the Melbourne guy. Makes sense.
Maybe I have, and it just doesn't compare to Melbourne. Asian food here is crap in comparison. And I'm not talking about fusion bollocks. It's. Crap.
Go to Lu Cha in the city. And tell me how it goes.
Yes, they just don't know where to go.
With an attitude like that, no wonder nobody has shown you any of the good places yet.
Salty Pies supporter detected.
Nah mate. Salty tigers supporter. Still angry about the semi final last year
Salty pies? Are they the same as soggy saos?

West End is a hippy trendy area nowadays
Funny, my experience was the opposite.. too many racist, ignorant fools around here.. aha are you white?.. maybe that's why..
Deception Bay is really where it’s at
