Murrumba Downs, QLD 4503

We moved here in Nov 2022 from Melbourne. It ticks all the boxes safe, family orientated, friendly people, convenient close to shops and shopping centre.

The only down side might be schools for the kids very limited vacancies on good schools and child care in the area. Get them in early.

It's a good spot as it's easy to jump on the Bruce Highway and get to Sunshine or Gold Coast. Only a few minutes to major shops and lots of healthcare. One star off as it's getting busier.

The train station has been a good addition since 2016 but my concern is still it’s proximity to public housing in north lakes/Kalangur area. The schools are quite hit and miss and there is a strong bogan influence in this area of Brisbane. I left in 2021 so not sure how it is now but I wouldnt move back. I prefer south Brisbane as the schools are higher quality.

We moved here few months back and love it. Most of the street waves out. Good family friendly vibe

I have been in living in Murrumba Downs for quite some time now and I love it! Everyone around is so friendly. There is easy access to schools, shops, the highway and even has a medical centre. The city isn’t that far if a drive. Public transport is also pretty good. There are lots of train stations around and busses. There are parks for kids and lots of yummy restaurants and cafes around. I think this place is good for any type of living, whether it’s to retire or start a family.

We moved here over a year ago and I absolutely love it. We have fantastic neighbors and we look out for each other. The council is very thorough in keeping the suburb clean and tidy. When a metal sign post got damaged the council workers were there the very next day replacing the sign. Same with any graffiti - the council removes it within a week. The new train station at Murrumba Downs opened two months ago and we also have the bus stop in the next street. You also have the Westfield North Lakes/IKEA/Costco and movie cinemas only a 6 minute drive away as well. A great place to live.

WE live & work in the Murrumba Downs area. What a great community, plenty of space & great new & existing facilities - very little that you would actually have to leave the area for to find! Overall very nice community & we are very happy we moved here 3 years ago!

Recently moved to Murrumba Downs and loving it. Such a quiet change from living in the inner city. Big houses, big yards and soooooo quiet..!! Everything seems to be at our fingertips, supermarket, shops,schools and Northlakes shopping centre is only a 5-10 minute drive. The only downfall is the mosquito's, which seemed to have settled a bit since the council has sprayed the mangroves and we've been warned about snakes, because we have large boulders at the side of our house, which most houses seem to have in this area. We've had one green tree snake make itself known from these rocks so far, hopefully that will be the only one.!! Overall, we are very happy with the move.... such a relaxing and quiet place to live.

i live here and it is absolutely fabulous! there is older houses and the 1 year-old ones. Neighbours are fab. Really quiet. we often get wildlife in our pools, (aka. we used to live in castle hill near a billabong and had gotten about 5 turtles in ours) magnificently rare birds, carpet snakes, green tree frogs and we also can grow fruit, vegetables and other plants really well. we live in Masjakin ct behind Living faith private school so we can walk to school each day. our neighbours are real nice and join in with all celebrations eg. street xmas partys, all our blocks are about a 1/4 acre. all the areas are nice in Murrumba Downs North quarter, castle Hill, the old people blocks and the parts that are not named. I would never have a single doubt of moving here and you shouldn't either. A great place for families, couples and singles. murrumba downs is quite a large area. there are all diffrent landscapes here. there is a lake, a billabong, forest, farming, grassland and of course suburbia.
