Logan Central, QLD 4114

You need to put the crack pipe down I've been here and hell I'm disabled and people show nothing but the upmost respect towards me

I completely agree 100% Unfortunately the area is no longer safe and I have the same problems in Daisy Hill / Springwood

You are so right !!!

Yep, aande61, has proven they live under a rock. Get out of your snobby designer clothes and explore how you can make it by buying a tidy, roomy, extremely affordable family house in Woddridge and Logan Central.

My husband, myself and our gorgeous 3 year old son live in Logan Central. We bought our first property here in 2007, our second in 2009. Then sold our first to try and avoid another rental in the area. We love it. Great neighbors, close to everything. 2 minutes from the pacific hwy and Logan motorway.
I was a bank manager for 12 years and now a stay at home mum - could not have had that blessing had we bought elsewhere with a large mortgage. My husband has a trade. I have had no trouble what so ever and I am home with my son daily. We walk to the shops, have spent 100k on our renovations with no fear of over capitalizing as we don't plan on moving. the mortgage is small enough to have many lifestyle options.

I believe it starts with the people living here / buying here to start telling it how it really is living here. I love it!! Logan is a very large area, the news always says Logan when something goes wrong....yet they will state the Brisbane suburb name. It does not help the area of Logan and a good story doesn't sell.
Yes there are some bad little pockets, though I have to admit, in the last 10 years, I have seen a huge improvement with these pockets as well. resident are saying no to these kinds of behaviors and are calling the police on any socially unexceptionable behaviors and this is making a difference.

So please don't consider this suburb as an investment, rather than an affordable option to live. You will not regret it.

I bought a home in Kingston in 2015. I have good neighbours and this city is reshaping everyday for the better. From people I have spoken to, Logan is to be one of the fastest growing cities in Qld. Its about what its becoming, not what it has been. Logan Central is only about 25 mins drive from Brisbane City and prices are less than half of many brisbane suburbs. This screams opportunity to me.

Katty you gotta be kidding me, what risk your childrens lives to live in a big affordable crime central??

You be better off living in the bush

i wrote a review on wain av.logan central that i wanted to share with people who think of buying a house here.because i completely disagree with the man who said he lived here.He should get his facts and figures stright think about the times we live in and compare this area and our country with others.

couldnt have said it better. logan is a shit hole.. on the upper hand if your a junkie or drug dealer than this place is perfect for you!!

logan city is the third larges city in qld.you have maligned and insulted an awfull lot of people,you are are lucky most aussies are easy going and tolerant of opiniated uninformed narcistic pshociopaths like you seems to be.makes me wonder why you moved around so much?or maybe you where just not up to teaching so many children from different races and nationalitys not to mention languages and cultures.has it ever acured to you that this has something to do with their behavior problem drug taking e.t.c.most underprivaleged,displaced and or poor people have the same problems the world over;unfortunately most end up in logan namely woodride,that is rapitly turnig into a slum-ghetto due mainly to lack of planing by an incompetant state and australian goverment it has a lot to learn times have changed since 9/11 innocence and blind trust have gone,so if i where you i watch my back the newcommers into our australia are not as tolerant and have yet to learn to say how are you going mate allright? and rearly mean it. HOO ROO from Virgo

I absolutely agree. I've been here less than a month and within that time, I have failed to find a park safe enough for my daughter to play in...and there are HEAPS! - The last one we went to, we were approached by 2 junkies with possibly beer in a brown paper bags, telling us to f*cking leave. Mind you, my daughter is only 2. I can honestly say it's worse than Dandenong or Frankston areas in VIC. I don't even feel safe to walk or jog or take my daughter ANYWHERE. Almost everyone looks and acts like they're on drugs. Every shopping strip here looks absolutely slum like and EXTREMELY low class. There have been many crimes in Logan during the evening news, since my being here. I'm near Eagleby area and the only good thing near here is Hyperdome. Everywhere else is too unsafe and definitely not a place to be bringing up my kids, that's for sure. Even the look and feel of this area is...ghetto like, so to speak. If you've had great experience in this area, good for you! But unfortunately, the bad over rides the good, for first impressions sake and coming here to visit relatives every year. Now we're here to stay...but my daughter and myself will both be moving out asap.

I forgot to add the constant yelling and screaming of neighbours, constantly arguing. And the hoons at night, doing burnouts around the corner. Oh, and the first few days of being here, there was a burglary just next door. The cops knocked on our door and asked if we knew anything about it. Yeah, not a safe place. I wouldn't even invest here because I'd feel sorry for the tenants.

I very sad others have experienced such opposite to us. My husband, our gorgeous 3 year old son and myself live in Logan Central. We bought our first property here in 2007, our second in 2009. Then sold our first to try and avoid another rental in the area - so sold it to a family looking to live that would look after it.. We love it. Great neighbors, close to everything. 2 minutes from the pacific hwy and Logan motorway. We moved from Coorparoo.
I was a bank manager for 12 years and now a stay at home mum - could not have had that blessing had we bought elsewhere with a large mortgage. My husband has a trade. We are decent, educated and friendly drug free parents. Our street consists of the same. I have had no trouble what so ever and I am home with my son daily. We walk to the shops, leave the car out the front some days, have spent over 100k on our renovations with no fear of over capitalizing as we don't plan on moving. the mortgage is small enough to have many lifestyle options.

I believe it starts with the people living here / buying here to start telling it how it really is living here and be the ones to set the bar of not minding our own business,... we did this in our street. Cleaned it up and now I love it!! Logan is a very large area, the news always says Logan when something goes wrong....yet they will state the Brisbane suburb name. It does not help the area of Logan and a good story doesn't sell.
Yes there are some bad little pockets, though I have to admit, in the last 10 years, I have seen a huge improvement with these pockets as well. resident are saying no to any kinds of socially unexceptionable behaviors, calling the police and this is making a difference.

So please don't consider this suburb as just an investment opportunity, rather than an affordable option to live (so far). You will not regret it.

Logan?!...it's such a bad place Logan..so many stabbings, rapes murders etc goes on there!...Hell on earth!!

I have lived at Shailer Park (Logan City) since 2008 & I love it. There are great walking tracks, Daisy Hill park, & natural reserve (such as Kimberly forest reserve). Because of big forest reserve, I feel air is very clean. It feels especially nice after a rain fall. There are many great schools close by (you can google). I have worked in Gold Cost, Brisbane North, Ipswich & Logan region - because it is centrally located, I have job option in all directions. I used to live in Sydney before. I admit there are few pockets in Logan region which are not safe (I don't want to name them here) but there are also many fantastic suburbs in Logan city such as Rochdale, Springwood, Daisy Hill, Shailer Park, Cornubia, Underwood, etc, etc. Logan city is very a large city comprising of many suburbs (you can look at map). I think it is wrong to generalise a whole city based on handful of suburbs, No matter which city you go, you will always find good pocket & bad pocket.

It looked like a scary place, on the tv footage tonight.

That is true Rose, I am not that fan of Logan, but honestly, it comes down to everyone's experiences and the streets they lived on. You can go years never having to deal with some of what the commenters posted here, and others could deal with it daily, some places do have it worse then others, for sure, but in the end, you can never tell if you don't live there, right? Maybe there are some parts of Logan that is horrid and should be avoided, and some of it probably breed the best places there. Do I get concerned about it? Sure, because my brother and niece live down there, and what I hear it isn't great, but there are good and bad people. I also think Carindale and Coorparoo are awesome places, some others may had horrible experiences and believe it sucks. (Coorparoo isn't exactly a shining beacon though, it does have it's own problems.)

I live in Logan and I hate it here, it's the people, and how I'm treated by complete strangers and staff of Logan Business. They laugh at the most disgusting jokes, wear thongs with dirty feet , and somehow still think they're good and better than you...
