not a lot of shops there but a big shopping center 10 min drive away(indroopilly westfield)

schools look ok as you drive past them but schools are schools

lots of parks

beach 1 to 1 1/2 hour drive away(so no jelly fish in Kenmore

spiders/snakes you will be moving to a area near the bush so it is possible to find them if you look hard(don't annoy the snakes & they wont annoy you)

Answer 3

Kenmore is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 10km south-west of the Brisbane CBD. Kenmore is a leafy suburb with a high number of professional residents and families. Kenmore is dominated by detatched housing - units and townhouses are rare. Kenmore has benefited greatly from the Centenary Highway that gives it direct access to the city via Milton Road or Coronation Drive.

The suburb has a large number of parks and playing fields. It has easy access to outdoors activities in surrounding suburbs, including walking tracks and roads to Mt Coot-tha lookout, botanical gardens and the planetarium; boating ramps into the Brisbane River and horse riding facilities in Fig Tree Pocket and Brookfield.

There are a number of schools in the suburb, including Kenmore South State School, Kenmore State School, Kenmore State High, and private Christian schools. There are a large number of restaurants as well as two large retail centres, Kenmore Village and Kenmore Plaza, located on Moggill Road. If these centres don't have what you are looking for then you're just down the road from Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.

My family moved here 7 years ago and love it!
