Prospero Circuit

"Walk to everywhere you need"

Although I rent out this house now, I lived here for about five years and only moved for something bigger, but still in Springfield Lakes. The location at Prospero Cct is really fantastic with the lakes, shops and soon to be opened train station an easy walk away. The houses and gardens are all neat and the street borders The Billabongs and walkway, with a kids playground with picnic tables and basketball court about 100m down the path. It's a 7min walk to the local IGA, bakery, medical centre, allied health professionals, chemist, bottle shop, primary school, bank, four different restaurants/food outlets and hairdresser. Another 5 min walk and you're at Maccas, the local tavern, Nightowl shop, gym, video shop, vet, Choice Liquor, pizza, Thai and mixed Asian restaurants and more medical. This street is in he pretty Olive Springs precinct which is well treed and close to all the lovely walks, parks, playgrounds and tennis courts of the main lake as well as being walking distance to the newer lake and adjacent playing fields and more courts. The neighbours are friendly but not intrusive. Once the new railway station opens, this street will be in an unbeatable location, being close enough to be convenient but far enough away to be peaceful and quiet.

"Won't be a "secret" for long"

We've lived in Soringfield Lakes since October 2005 and now own two houses here. We love the parks, the trees, the layout of the suburbs and the shopping has everything you really need, with more on the way. There's a good selection of primary, secondary and tertiary education facilities. The train will service the suburb by the end of 2013, so the public transport challenges will be resolved. In the meantime, we commute by car to the CBD every weekday and it takes between 35-45 min each way, and that's door to door. With the Centenary Hwy duplication it may be even quicker. The prices are reasonable and cater for a wide range of budgets. We have free use of tennis and basketball courts, sporting fields and the lakes for water activities. Plus any number of fenced kiddy playgrounds, dog parks, and picnic and BBQ facilities. It's fantastic living close to forests alive with birds and other wildlife. The air is clean and it feels good waking up to fresh air and sounds of nature. The local tavern is modern and has beautiful decor and good facilities, without that dodgy pub feel. We have great restaurants serving great Thai, mixed Asian, Indian, pizza, fish, roasts in addition to Subway, Maccas, KFC, Coffee Club to name just a few, so I can't see how people can complain we're not well catered for. It's true this isn't a gourmet's paradise, but seriously, you can have a good night out and still afford to catch a local taxi home afterwards. We have the award-winning Robelle Parklands where we have weekly markets and regular activities in addition to it being a great fun park in its own right. The famous Brookwater Golf Course is 5min drive away. This is an award-winning master-planned community which has long be overlooked by people being snobby about us coming under the auspices of the Ipswich City Council and being outside the so-called "magic circle" around Brisbane's CBD. This is a great place to live and is a credit to the originators and ongoing developers. And no, I don't work for either!

is this a real safe place to live for a family? I heard a lot of property crime...

I have lived here for 9 years and have never seen or experienced crime. We are a young family with small children and often go walks in the evening and see lots of other familys/joggers/dog walkers around and have never seen any 'hooligans' loitering. I feel really safe here, its a really active community.

Hi KazK,

May you let me know how much per week for one-bed rent and food and beverage.
