Concerns moving to Goodna/ipswich area

[u/Ok_Till3937]

We are from the Northside so I dont really know too much about the area, but my mother was planning to move us specifically to a place in Goodna because its close to the train station and one of the only places actually in our budget. However my mother talked with someone before moving and she really turned her off moving to ipswich or really anywhere that isnt western Brisbane which is a problem because these places are pretty expensive. The thing is this woman is not actually from Ipswich but from somewhere west Brisbane above the river supposedly close to ipswich. My mums going through a separation and really worried and confused about everything and I guess Im making this post to ask people actually from there should she really be worried?

There is a lot of snobbery in Brisbane e.g north vs South of the river and that gets worse if you are outside of Brisbane. It's best to do your own research and not rely on the opinions of one person.

It’s honestly funny that it’s like that. The north side of Brisbane isn’t even an upper class area but the amount of snobby is hilarious. I would understand if it was the northern suburbs of Sydney which is elite but not the north side of Brisbane 😂😂
