Marsden, QLD 4132

Marsden isn't New Farm but it's the best in Logan area in terms of value and potential.
Now you can see new houses being built in almost every street and many young couples started to move in.
So the price will only go up.

I’ve been selling here for 6 years now. At the beginning yes it was challenging. But now I feel we can split Marsden into 2 parts. The old & the new. The new section you’ll find a very family feel given most homes are 4 bed 2 baths. The older section is super popular for land size! Yes it’s older homes yes you might have a little roughness here or there but that’s in every suburb, however the older suburbs are so fantastic for investing and land banking. I truely do feel you can pick your streets and in particular your homes well. The high school now has so much interest and in turn it’s helped boost prices, we’re close to both the Logan motorway PAC highway and mount Lindesay. So it’s a central location, and affordable! Definitely a suburb to keep an eye on.

Pros:
Convenient location. For instance it's a 40 min drive to Brisbane CBD, an hour to popular Gold Coast beaches, 40 mins to the beautiful rainforest's of Mount Tambourine, and a short drive inland to Aussie bushland boasting an array of creeks and camping grounds. The suburb its self is in extremely close proximity to large local shopping centres (grand plaza, Hyperdrome) as well only a 25-30 min drive to Westfield shopping centre's Garden City and Carindale.
It is a 10 min drive to the massive Logan Hospital.
Plenty of schools in and around the area, the most notable being Marsden State High School which has been named 2020 Australian Best School of the Year.
Heaps of great parks.
Extremely multicultural.
Lots of kids sporting teams in surrounding areas.
Easy access to motorways.
Decent public transport system.
There are plenty of Businesses in the area (lots of jobs for young people in non-professional roles - like hospitality and retail).
Affordable Housing, including brand new houses.

Cons:
Poor reputation.
Hoons. However, in recent years it has decreased due to council installing lots of traffic control measures in local streets.
Noise. However, this issue seems to be most prevalent in the new estates, where houses are so close together that their roofs are almost touching. In these sort of situations noise is almost inevitable.
Trouble definitely exists in this area but if you don't go looking for it you will probably be fine.

When looking for a house in Marsden I would suggest choosing an older home on a quiet street where most residents own their home. These houses are on bigger blocks and are usually owned by working families and retirees therefore minimising noise.

Too many units and townhouse too many drugs and robbing, we need more cops around Marsden areas poor oldies people too sceard to stay home alone.

I see alot of mixed reviews here but all in all Marsden has been great for me! You can find trouble anywhere you go and thats the same for marsden but i keep to myself i walk the kids to the park i see other families at the parks and dont see any dramas ever! If you look for trouble you'll find it im sure but thats everywhere, Marsden is a family friendly town.

RW Marsden have been selling real estate in Marsden since 2008. In this time we watched the suburbs improve year on year. Thanks to the tremendous work ex mayor Pam Parker and current Mayor Luke Smith have and are putting in. Marsden/Crestmead area is becoming a hot
spot for investors and owner occupiers alike. More estates, more families, more business, more jobs coming to Marsden/Crestmead.
With our State, Private and Catholic schools combined with Griffith University we have a great education system.
Lots of parks and huge nature reserves for play and to enjoying nature.
Marsden is the Place to be.

Close friend who bought here found it impossible to sell her house, which is 4 bed 2 bath and in good condition (built 2010). She had it on market for 6 months +. My cousin lived here briefly and hated it. He said neighbours were not friendly, lots of loud parties in the street and he found that the suburb was not well connected with public transport.

I've been living here for around 7 years now. We moved here due to how cheap it was and the location as we travel to Brisbane city and the Gold Coast often. It's a small suburb, not much to do, but also not far from things in surrounding suburbs. More of a place for young families. There are many parks and nature parks close by, so always activities for young children to do. More and more shops are been built, so you have basically all you need within a 5 minute drive. It's extremely multicultural which is a really wonderful thing, & why we have stayed here so long (were originally only going to stay for 2 years).

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of friends that have recently moved to Marsden and I have lived close by the area for many years. The area is showing a lot of growth and development right now with some nice family homes (home and land packages) coming out for sale.

The only down point which I have noticed in the area the amount of loud hoons at night which speed up and down the main streets of Marden but can be heard from far away, and also late at night you see some drunken teenages walking around the streets staring straight at you when your driving home late at night.

That said a nice neighbourhood with lots of affordability and new comers.

Hope this helps. :)

Lived in marsden over 25 years and would not move. Like the walkways, bike tracks,parks and shops. My street is great with good neighbours, friendly but not a nuisance. Getting more and more developement now but still offers lots of bush and wildlife. Easy to get in any direction and onto major highways. Entrance to Logan tollway via Wembley road is awful at peak hours but I think this is being reviewed at present. Entry from Kingston road/ Battle street better.

We have no complaints. The tenants we look after in the area are friendly hard working families.

Marsden is a great area to live in i have lived here since 2000. The area has got better and better with new development which is increasing the value of property. The area is full of schools, parks and close to shops and transport. I have never head a problem in this area, have never been broken in to. This really is a nice place to live.

Marsden is a nice suburb with plenty of parks in it and especiallly the berrinba busland parks with very modern facilities and great for bush walking or cycling. you have logan hospital nearby and grand plaza shopping centre is within 5-7 minutes drive. Not much traffic and i found marsden to be quiet and friendly place to live in. I lived in Marsden for about 3 years now and never had any problem with anybody. It's really good to live in Marsden

Not really a place for families, especially with young children. As a stay at home mum who lived in Marsden for a while, I would say it was the worst area possible for the littlies with loads of traffic and very inconsiderate neighbours making way too much noise. Very unfriendly neighbourhood with nothing to do or see without a vehicle.
