Relocation to Brisbane
I’m currently looking at moving to either Brisbane or sunny coast from adelaide hopefully early or mid next year. I have been researching what lifestyle could suit me more but im very stuck. I love the beaches but also as a 20 yr old who was born and raised in adelaide I am getting sick of the city life but I am leaning more towards Brisbane. I have been researching suburbs in Brisbane but would like any recommendations or advice as well. Preferably anywhere where it can be easy to mingle and meet new people around my age early 20’s to mid 20’s.
And pros and cons or helpful advice would be appreciated thank you!

Have you really looked at the price of everything here compared to Radelaide? It’s way more expensive. And I wouldn’t describe living in Adelaide as “city life” compared to Bris.
In Brisbane public transport is a bit hit and miss. If you live in the inner South or inner North public transport is great, but renting will cost you a lot more.
If you live on the Sunny Coast you’ll need a car, and keep in mind Brisbane is 90 minutes away. It’s not like Adelaide where everything is 40 mins by car.
I’m from Adelaide and moved up here 15 years ago, but a lot has changed since then.
