Best Brisbane Suburbs for Families: A Removalist's Perspective

As professional Brisbane interstate removalists who help hundreds of families relocate each year, we've gained unique insights into which suburbs are attracting families and why. Our crews witness firsthand which neighborhoods are experiencing family-oriented growth and what makes these areas special beyond the real estate listings.

Rising Family Hubs Based on Moving Trends
Our booking data reveals clear patterns in family movement across Brisbane:

• Chermside & Chermside West continue to attract young families with their blend of convenience and green space
• Stafford Heights has seen a 30% increase in family moves over the past year, offering excellent value for growing households
• Everton Park remains a perennial favorite, with many of our clients citing its community feel as the deciding factor
• Upper Mount Gravatt is emerging as a multicultural family hub with excellent transport connections
• The Gap and Ashgrove are leafy, welcoming suburbs especially focussed on family activities and community involvement

Because of our wide interstate coverage and industry experience as best interstate removalists, we've noticed families increasingly prioritizing suburbs with excellent walkability scores and multiple amenities within 15 minutes, rather than focusing solely on house sizes.

Educational Options & Family Infrastructure

Beyond basic amenities, these family-friendly locations offer:

• Chermside's catchment includes Craigslea State School and High School, both with strong academic and extracurricular programs
• Stafford Heights benefits from Stafford State School's well-regarded music program and excellent special education support
• Everton Park offers both state and private options, including Northside Christian College with its modern facilities
• Upper Mount Gravatt provides access to Griffith University, one of the best unis in Australia alongside quality primary and secondary schools

Each area also features well-maintained parks, with Chermside's expansive parklands and Everton Park's hidden gems of Teralba Park and Boundary Park being particular favourites among families we relocate.

Moving Tips Specific to Family-Friendly Suburbs

These popular family areas present unique considerations when moving:

• School timing: We recommend scheduling moves during school terms rather than during holidays in your move, as holiday times create heavy, unexpected traffic delays
• Estate planning: Newer estates in Upper Mount Gravatt often have restricted truck access times and resident parking challenges that you might need to be aware of
• Community introductions: Leave forwarding details with neighbours, as these tight-knit communities often collect parcels and mail for their neighbours
• Council coverage: Each suburb, of which there are 190 in addition to the islands of Moreton Bay are part of the Greater Brisbane council area under the Brisbane City Council jurisdiction.

Storage Considerations
Family moves often involve transition periods:

• Stafford Heights and Everton Park have better temporary storage options than Chermside
• School catchment verification sometimes delays settlements, possibly making short-term storage or alternative accommodation necessary
• Local community Facebook groups in these areas are excellent resources for purchasing or borrowing necessary items during transition periods
• Industry-experienced Brisbane furniture removalists offer you quality moving and storage services to take the worry out of moving for you
