Forest Lake

"Forest Lake is really a lovely place to live"

We have returned to Forest Lake after relocating back to Brisbane from Melbourne, having lived here years ago. We find it is very central to Brisbane & Ipswich, with great shopping facilities in Forest Lake & Mount Ommaney only 10 minutes away. I cannot understand the former comments about crime in the area as I have gone to work from 6:30am to 4 or 5:00pm & left windows open & even accidentally left my back sliding door unlocked a couple of times with absolutely no issues. There is a very friendly community spirit here & I would recommend the area to anyone I know. I have lived in 27 different houses since moving out of home as a teen & lived in Toowoomba, Melbourne & Tassie & I have to say I feel very comfortable living in Forest Lake & I am very very particular about where I live, bordering on being a snob. There is crime everywhere, no matter how highly priced an area is & of course unless you want to live in a fortress type estate under electronic key entry, you cannot keep bad elements at bay because they generally come in from outside areas anyway.
