Springfield Lakes

"Listen to the birds!"

We moved here in 2007 after looking at other areas like Edenbrook, Brookwater, Sinnamon Park, Fig Tree Pocket, Chapel Hill, Graceville and Corinda.
We have found the perfect house overlooking the Billabong with easy walks round the lakes. We can walk over the road and sit on the picnic tables and watch the sunset. When family visit the kids can go off and play on the many playgrounds, or ride their bikes in a safe environment. The shopping is actually sometimes better than other areas as you can get everything anyway, and it is not so far to go. It takes me 15 mins to work in Chelmer and my husband the same to Ipswich. The internet was a nuisance at first, but we have got that sorted out with a satellite dish courtesy of the broadband guarantee. Other areas like Seventeen Mile Rocks, Kenmore also had problems believe it or not and friends of ours in Indooroopilly have a worse connection if any!
Traffic early in the morning when they first opened up the highway from Ipswich was slow, but it has eased now, anyway, it is slower once you hit Oxley road...that can take 3 times as long to do 4 km there! Train has not been a problem, you have a choice of places to pick up from which is not a hardship. Buses go there anyway. It takes us 40 mins to the airport. Our block is 640m2 and the house is new and we have lovely neighbours. Most of the people we have met are happy here. The fireworks displays and classical music or pop rock evenings that are free by the Lakes are fantastic...we walk down with our picnic and a bottle of wine and enjoy a lovely evening without driving anywhere....what more could you ask for?
I must say as I drive those last few km home through the trees I feel a feeling of satisfaction that I can relax and enjoy the rest of my day.....away from the hassle of traffic and noise and pollution


You will enjoy it too, believe me :)

I find it hard to believe that people could find fault living here, .....life is what you make it and compared to other exclusive suburbs that we have lived in over the past 30 years, this has been one of the best!

Who lives here?

  • Professionals
  • Families with kids
  • Retirees

They don't give you satellite dishes for the net anymore. You get a wireless modem or the option of dial-up. Unless of course you live right next door to Orion shopping town.
