I'm looking to move up to brisbane from melbourne and just want to know what the rents are like in Brisbane.  Att his stage I'm hoping to live as close to the city as possible and close topublic transport. Can anyone help?

Hi Sally Ann
Rents having been creeping up of late and the competition is fierce. There are plenty of areas close to pub transport and close to the city to live - Bowen Hills, the Valley, Toowong, Taringa, Spring Hill, West End, New Farm, AuchenFlower, Milton, Kelvin Grove, Highgate Hill etc. Be prepared to pay 4 weeks bond and sign a 12 month lease. You'll also need references. When going to open inspections, i suggest you dress professionally - first impressions and all that.

Good luck!   

im in exactly the same situation...

Hey,
I have just done the same thing.  If you are looking to rent something by yourself and something close to the city you would be looking around the $200 mark as a rough starting point.  If you look for a room in a shared house or apartment you may (if you are incredibly lucky) find something from about $100.  On average for close to the city you will probably be looking at $160+.  Check out websites like Gumtree if you want options other than a real estate agent.
