Springfield Lakes

"Good...but not all that!!"

I've lived here about 18 months. I bought my own place and do like my home and living here, but the downside is home owners spend a lot of money for a small block (small by Australian standards), build a nice home, attractive facade, landscaped front and back yard and take pride in their home only to have a investment property go up next door, accross the road etc and before you know it another ugly looking home is cheaply rented out to increasing numbers of people moving here from lower socio-economic suburbs along with their clapped out cars parked on the landlords front lawn and making the place look and feel more like a government public housing estate. The growing numbers of renters is a BIG turnoff. It's like a social experiment out here, and let's be honest there are vastly different values, levels of respect towards other neighbours. Avoid Creekside, although close to one of the lakes, in it's short history it's already looking seedy/rundown and has quite a few cheap shed-type looking homes. Take a walk around if you want to see for yourself..grafitti all over the local park, over grown weeds in many yards, ugly looking council homes and less desirable people, but like I said there's more and more moving in so you'll see that throughout. Wish it wasn't so but it is.

There are a reasonable mix of owned and rented properties, and largely the suburb is beautifully maintained. I believe Creekside was developed as a more affordable side of town with smaller cheaper 2 bedroom homes - due to its close walking distance to the university - this housing suits student accommodation. I have only seen graffiti in local parks once -ever in 5 years. There are no 'council homes' in the suburb. I have only seen evidence of 1 lot of 'less desirable people' however they were renters who were moved on in 6 months. However one might consider there are those types in almost all places. Compared to many suburbs local to the area, I believe Springfield Lakes is a great place to live.
