"Paddington is a fantastic place to live, boasting beautiful architecture, excellent restaurants, pubs, cafés, and shops. The rolling hills create captivating vistas, attracting an eclectic and friendly community. It truly lifts my spirits."

"An abundance of trendy cafés, bars, and shops, along with numerous entertainment precincts. Visually stunning, with beautifully renovated character homes adding to its charm."

"Of all the Brisbane suburbs I've lived in, Paddington holds my heart. I love stepping off the bus—running every 7 minutes in peak hour—and taking in views of the CBD and Mt Coot-tha at sunset. We became a one-car family because I can walk to local shops and easily access transport. The charming heritage homes, leafy streets, friendly locals, and great childcare, schools, and shops make Paddington truly special."
