Albany Creek, QLD 4035

We bought here about a year ago and loving it. We are a family of 4, with a preschool and a primary school aged children.
It's very clean, safe and friendly place with a lot of parks, biking and walking trails. Bunnyaville Conservation Park is right next to it. Local primary school is amazing, plenty of activities for kids to do. Local leisure center has a very strong swimming school, Albany Creek Gymnastics Center and South Pine Sports Complex are great and only a short drive away. T
Can't comment on the high school first hand, but a few of our neighbors do send their kids there and from a quick chat - very happy with it.
There are a couple of local shopping centers with cafes and supermarkets. Chermside Westfield is only 10-15 min drive away. Ikea and Costco are 20 min drive with convenient access to the motorway.
Highly recommend it to any families or professional couples who want peaceful and quiet life while being only a short drive away from everything they need

Best place we have ever lived in!!

Country feel, yet only 20 minutes to the city.

Every time we come home from work we look around at all the trees in the reserves etc and say, WOW love this place.

It's such a privilege to live here, and we are so happy we made the move.

Neighbours on all sides are amazing friendly people.

Would recommend this place to most people, worth every penny.

Albany Creek is by far one of the most friendliest suburbs in Brisbane. Love all the little local cafes. Amazing parks too (especially for dog walking!)

We are middle age with young adult children. We moved here last year. There is several coffee/cafe 5 minutes from home. You could get coffee at a different place everyday. Our children love the Eatons Hill Tavern (EH). There a many music festivals held there throughout the year. Also Octoberfest, Rodeo, NYE & NYD parties. Woolworths Aldi Coles are within minutes drive from each other. Many many doctors surgeries. The icing on the cake has to be the surrounding parklands. There is also a popular hiking and mountain bike track within the parkland forestry.

Lots of young families, with a mix of old and new housing. Quite a big suburb so there are distinct 'sections'. Great parks and bikeways, and the two central shopping areas has everything you need. Plenty of daycare centres too.

We’ve lived here for 15 years now and absolutely love it,
It’s superb for kids of all ages, great state school and 3 excellent primary schools.
Virtually no crime at all, we thoroughly enjoy life here.

We bought a house here back in 2018 and I wouldn't buy anything here again.
Yes, my review is biased because I work in the CBD. No train station with 5-6 kms. The nearest stations are Carseldine, Straphpine and Enoggera, so commute to the CBD is a nightmare if you rely on the routes 357 and 359. If you dont believe me, check with Google maps and/or Translink app. Driving to the station also won't help you at all, you will spend same 30 minutes to Enoggera station as Old Nothern Rd is pretty busy every morning.
Some of my coallegues live twice further but spend slightly less time to get to the office. Nearly forgot to mention, if you miss 6pm 359 to Albany Creek you are stuck in the CBD for an hour because the next bus only at 7 pm.
Please also keep in mind that AC is within Moreton Bay Regional Council, we also have Caboulture, Deception Bay, Lawton and so on within the council borders. If you think there is no difference between Brisbane City and Moreton Bay Council's, unfortunately, there is a lot small ones. As a first example, forget about yearly white waste kerb collection, so you have to get your stuff to the dump site by yourself or hire someone. For me, it is annoying and I miss Brisbane City Council where I took it as granted.
To be fair it is slightly cheaper than the nearest BCC suburb McDowell.
Albany Hills, Albany Creek primary schools are not that bad and definately better than average but, again, McDowell or Aspley schools are better.
My personal opinion, Albany Creek is not awful but there is nothing good about this suburb taking into account the house prices. I would look elsewhere.
P.s. I cannot give 2.5 star rating, so I have given 3, so please note it is 0.5 star overrated in my review.

Really peaceful and family friendly area. Love that it's only 20min to the city. We have beautiful playgrounds and the national park on our door step. Best for families looking for space and a great outdoor lifestyle yet close enough for the commute to work.

Great place to live not too far from city or chermside Westfields, but still has that town feeling . Everything is here if you need it good schools albany hills Jnr school is very good . No building work going on . Houses cheap really for location from cbd
