Collingwood Park, QLD 4301

My small family moved to Collingwood Park mid last year and have found the area to be very welcoming, friendly and overall pretty lovely to call home.
We have access to shops in either direction. I work in the Brisbane CBD so it's a great location to get public transport or drive as an alternative option.
My little one is too little for school but I have heard great things about the schools and daycares in the area.
It's a little gem nessled between some not so favoured suburbs.

Collingwood park is so good because they have alot of schools and a wide range of parks i would recommend this suburb if you want a place to call home

Visited relatives here, yeh not impressed and neither are they. They are looking at relocating to Stockland North Shore in Townsville and I think its a great move.

We moved here 6 months ago from Sydney and despite some negative opinions voiced about the suburb from people that have never lived here have found it has exceeded our expectations. Admittedly some of the surrounding suburbs are a bit rough, however the area we are living in (which has streets named after politicians) is quiet, middle class and great value with my house costing less than $300K. Avoid the areas that have a large percentage of rentals, you can easily pick them. The people here, though not affluent seem for the most part to be down to Earth and friendly. I haven't found they have a "chip on their shoulder" like many in Western Sydney. Access to the city or west to Ipswich/Toowoomba is easy with the motorway nearby.

Great suburb with schools, shopping centers around and quick access to rail way and highways.
Still very affordable and possible to find good size blocks with pools and shed.
I highly recommend, I see a lot of development around such as woodlinks and forest view. Prices will not stay affordable forever.

Have lived here for 6 years. Area getting worse for crime and drugs. Also hoon traffic increasing. Our house has risen in value but Will probably move when we can afford a better suburb.

I've been here for a month.. No trouble. So quiet, neighbours are lovely and so close to everything.. Highly recommend it..

Love the suburb, accessible, relatively close to the CBD, moved here from Sydney with my wife and daughter (9 months old) woukd not go back! Low house prices are unbeatable the suburb is like a hidden gem surrounded by not so posh ones. I would recommend Collingwood park to anyone who is looking for a quiet safe place we are living at goss drive only minutes away from Woolworths few minutes drive from red bank plaza.

Can’t believe how affordable this place is so close to Brisbane. Yes, in Ipswich, by basically the next suburb out and heaps cheaper. Great new school Woodlinks State School, the new estate across the road, Woodlinks Village is awesome as well.

Unfortunately we lived in the area and found it to largely unsafe. We are not talking about crime, although there is crime in the area. We are talking about environmental.

Many of the homes had been poorly designed and thrown together to save on costs. There are serious mold issues in some areas as well as construction issues. The ground is constantly moving that caused cracks and parts of our roof to cave in.

We heard of an elderly couple who nearly had their roof collapse onto them from the ground shifting. No compensation whatsoever despite numerous efforts with the council.

It’s a toxic environment for anyone with allergies or asthma. Stay away from the area around Kruger state school which is home to a large landscaping and fertiliser business operating 7 days a week right in the middle of residents. There must be more than a hundred piles different types of fertilisers, mulches, cements, compost, sand and whatever else. Residents complain permanently but nothing has been done about it for years. The tippers stir the materials into their air and there is a permanent foul odor, not to mention the constant sneezing, watery eyes and sore throats every time we are in the area. I feel sorry for the children in that school who breathe it in every day.

Probably the worst suburb we have lived in, sorry to say. We are very glad to have left.
