Ormeau, QLD 4208

good luck getting good mobile phone service out here

Should have read about the reviews of Ormeau, Halfway Drive in Norfolk Village in particular before we decided to rent a place here. Big mistake! Noisy street and barking dogs! House is so old that there are much problems arise after we moved in. Any rental more than $500 is a rip off here!

We are renting at Norfolk village, Halfway Drive. Had to move as our last landlord sold our place at Jacabs Ridge 3 years ago. Heaps of issues since day 1. The whole street is full of noisy barking dogs and wanker drivers! The house is so old and we're constantly finding broken tiles. We visited our neighbour who are also renting, found out that theirs is no better than ours. Seems like renting in Norfolk Village is at your own risk!

Such a nice suburb with friendly people and good kids. Good public schools and heaps of private schools around.

Ormeau Hill and Ridge are the newer areas which we much prefer. Houses are newer and modern, however, land is tiny. Houses in Norfolk village are heaps older, and I meant heaps heaps older. OK to rent but expects bursting pipes and old dated houses with interior problems which you won't know until you moved in. The plus point with Norfolk is most houses are on big land.

What the hell is wrong with ormeau today it's been almost an hour of waiting still the crowd hasn't ended
Seriously guys ur the most trash people with ur disgusting roads

We've been living in Norfolk village, Ormeau for 3.5 years now and loving it here. However, it depends on which street you're at. We used to live in Katunga circuit, on a near 45deg slope and we absolutely hate it! Very often, you see dogs roaming around and our dog was attacked by one right in front of our front yard. Coppers and council van turned up at the house across the street very often. Anyway, it doesn't deter us from moving away from Norfolk because when our trailer was stolen, neighbours offer assistance, asking us if we need video footage as they have camera installed at the front of the house. We moved away from the circuit to our current place which is on a main road. Surprisingly, it wasn't noisy at all even during school traffic! The great community keep us here.

love it so quite and good for family and good atmosphere.

Ormeau. What else can you say, one of the best towns I know (Believe me I play townville). Some of the great things there is here includes lots of choices for shopping, gas and schools.

Ormeau is literally a hidden gem. Well, probably not that hidden anymore. We have lived here for 8+ years and brought up our two little kids and we could not have had aspired for a better place. We have seen this place grow. It has now got everything. Multiple shopping centres, childcares, parks, doctors, dentists, vet, restaurants, skate park - you name it, Ormeau's got it. It has got it's own country fairs and christmas carols, free open air movie nights and heaps of other community activities. It is so much fun to live in here - we love it!
Ormeau is halfway between Brisbane and Gold Coast - so it's convenient that way. The only downside if there is to Ormeau is that if you have to travel to Brisbane city in the mornings, the traffic can be a bit of an issue. Normally it takes us 30 minutes to get to Brisbane city from where we live, but during peak hours it could take you up to 50 minutes to an hour at times.

I have lived in Ormeau for only a short amount of time, but my partner has lived here for 25 years. I absolutely love this place.
It is directly halfway between Gold Coast and Brisbane, and feels like you live in a country town! You are so close to the M1 but you wouldn't know it.
Buying my first home in Norfolk Village and just LOVE IT!
And I feel safe living here! :)
