Where to live in Ipswich and surrounds?
Ipswich, QLD 4305 is located within the Ipswich local government area, part of the Brisbane Region in Queensland.
What we want is an area that has all the normal needs such as coles or woolies, chemist, newsagent, post office, doctors, hospital, schools etc etc (oh lots of parks also)
And then extras I want are playgroups (a few to chose from), a play centre, and other activities I can enrol my 2 yr old in (sports, kindy gym etc)... having said that, I don't mind driving 30mins or so to get to good ones!

Hi what is Tivoli like to live in.
Yamanto or Springfield
Ipswich is not as bad as people say. I have grown up and lived in Ipswich all my life and have only had a bad experience once. Please don't let other people's opinions turn you away from giving the city a shot. However there are some places to avoid such as Leichardt and One Mile as they have higher crime rates then other places. Eastern Heights and Newtown are good places to live. Woodend is another great spot.
Depends on your budget... Karalee area is good. School & Daycare, shops, riverside parks, close to Colleges Crossing recreation area. Has a nice rural/bushland vibe - still some farms around, pony club, etc. Easy access to Warrego Highway to get to Brisbane. A bit far out and can be a bit pricey but great if you can afford it.
Hi there, I have lived in Bellbird Park for 11 years and it is really a great suburb. The blocks tend to be bigger and there are a lot of tree's and birds, so it is like a haven. I have had any trouble the whole time I have been here and my neighbours are fantastic. You are close to shopping centre's and Brookwater Golf Club, restaurants, shops are only a short drive away. Easy access to Logan Freeway and the motorway. A really nice place to live. I am also a Real Estate Agent and was brought up in the area, so I know it very well. Good luck with your move, it is affordable and you can get a great house out here for a reasonable price. Regards Jan
The neighbourhood I lived in at Redbank plains was pretty good, nice houses & nice people
