South East Brisbane to settle?

[Safrican]

I saw this article today talking about low purchase and rental prices in south east Brisbane.
Anyone know these areas?
Are they feasible?

Any feedback would be great on what these areas are like?

Some are on islands in moreton bay with ferry only access to the mainland.

Sorry can't offer more specific help but note that Greater Brisbane has 450 suburbs and these were the 20 cheapest so though they may be ok there are obviously reasons for their position on the list.

It may be flooding issues, poor land (dry, hot, flat area next to big highways for example), bad infrastructure, poor public transport and access to jobs, struggling people causing neighbourhood issues etc.

Note that usually a suburb is broken into better and worse pockets so you may find that while the suburb in general has a poor reputation there are some better areas in the suburb.
