Springfield Lakes

"Beautiful, fabulous street appeal and extremely family orientated!"

A year ago we moved over from New Zealand.
Out of the hundreds of overwhelming Suburbs to choose from we narrowed it right down to Springfield lakes.
One main factor was that we didn't want to be anywhere near the City but wanted ample amenities that allowed us to do so.
We were advised that Springfield Lakes was apart of a grand master plan for Ipswich.
So far it is only a quarter complete.
I love living here for so many reasons and have never felt more at home!
Pro's:
- Fabulous choice of Public and Private Schooling
- Two train stations
- University
- Tafe
- Mater Hospital
- Beautiful Lakes and Sports grounds
- Orion shopping mall
- Robelle Domain
- Markets
- Families out walking, running, riding bikes etc
- NBN
- People take pride in the appearance of their homes
- Friendly People
- Choice of multiple fast food outlets and Restaurants
- 50 minutes from the Gold Coast
- Very close to the motorway so an easy commute to most places

Con's:
- Houses are very close together
- Section sizes are getting much smaller
- Traffic can be hectic sometimes!
- A few hooligans every now and then but the police are very onto it and it's dealt with quickly.

All in all why would you choose a Suburb that you know is 45 minutes from the City plus traffic and moan about it the entire time, move closer if it's such an issue!?
We moved here because of how far it is from the City, it's brilliant. If we ever need to head to the City at all we just jump on the train or Bus.
Crime is extremely low compared to many other suburbs, we did our research and checked multiple sites before moving here for crime statistics.
Yes you get the occasional thug but honestly what suburb doesn't really! My Family love visiting us from New Zealand, we all feel so safe here and my daughter is thriving in the local School.
We are looking to purchase house and land here next year.
We sit at the local cafe on the lake front at the Weekends and enjoy the views and many families out enjoying the fresh air, it's bliss.
If you're a Family or even a couple who love living the good life in a safe, well kept Suburb out of the City then Springfield Lakes is perfect for you!

Hi Kristy,
We moved from NZ 6 months ago. Do you have any feedback about Spring Mountain?

Spring Mountain is great for access to the highway, and directly down to the shops and cafes . The new primary school is very popular and we have a lot of Defence relocations requesting to move into the area.
If you like walking or bikes then the Spring Mountain park is a bonus!
