Reviews of Pimpama, QLD
"Quiet, convenience, great facilities"
Pimpama is a great suburb and a mixed community where people generally maintain their homes, everything is relatively knew so you have very fast internet, good roads and facilities, no overhead power lines things like that.
There is an abundance of cafes, grocery stores, and things to do.
Pimpama is basically a part of Coomera and will benefit from the Coomera connector, the new hospital, and the massive new developments happening at Dreamworld which is in the same suburb.
Lots of theme parks in the area, Westfield is fantastic and have really great night life and alfresco dining in Coomera on the outdoor strip.
Very close to prestigious suburbs like hope island, sanctuary cove, Coomera waters, etc.
Very good suburb for commuting as it's perfectly located in between Gold Coast and Brisbane.

"Great for families, convenience but that M1!"
I've lived in the area for 3 years now after moving from Victoria and haven't looked back. The area is super friendly for families with lots of convenient shopping for everyday needs (supermarkets, pet shops, bunnings etc.) and is close to Westfield Coomera. The suburb is really great for families with lots of parks, dog parks and sporting facilities including the new sports centre. Personally, I think the right side of the highway (facing north) is nicer and is definitely more convenient for the shop. The only real downside is the M1.... the commute to Brisbane or GC can be a nightmare, especially if there's been an accident. However, it suits my family as I work north in Brisbane and my hubby works south in Gold Coast, so it works for us but being prepared for the M1 is something you have to get used to. We live in the neighbouring suburb of Ormeau and I have to say that the exits at Pimpama always seem congested. Hopefully the new exit upgrades help!

"Family friendly, green, convenient for tradies & families"
Have lived in the area for 12+ months. Have found it to be fairly safe, friendly and convenient. Lots of IGAs, Woolies, coles, bunnings, office works, workwear stores, pet store and fantastic vets, dentists and doctors close by. Tons of restaurants and fast food, 2 x train stations close by plus lots of bus services all through Pimpama. Lots of parks, sporting facilities including the brand new Pimpama sports hub which is massive. Tons of facilities in Coomera also (share the same post code, basically the same suburb).. we enjoy visiting the golf course, sanctuary cove and hope island all of which are close by.
Great location in the middle of Gold Coast and Brisbane so you can work in either and commute to both easily. Lots of schools, TAFE & roads currently undergoing changes as the improve the area and support the rapid growth Pimpama and the Coomera region are currently experiencing. We are very happy in Pimpama and enjoy the convenience and lifestyle it offers with access to all of The Gold Coast & Brisbane.

"Fabulous suburb, quickly growing. Highly convenient. Gentrification"
Pimpama has quickly gone through a gentrification process. Lots of the locals are people who recently moved from Sydney & Melbourne. Great prices for homes (although they have seen massive growth over the last few years with your cheapest unrenovated 2 bed property now going for close to $500,000+ it’s still some of the best value for the area.
You have Starbucks, coles, Woolies, Pimpama Tavern, the new Pimpama Pavillion which is fabulous and modern. Lots of restruarants and fast food. Coomera Westfield close by, lots of gyms and the gold coasts largest home maker centre.
20 mins to beaches, half hour to brisbane or surfers paradise (most days - sometimes traffic sucks)
You have a huge Bunnings, home make r centre, tons of great brand new parks and schools and a friendly community.
Crime used to be an issue in the area but with the new police station this issue is mostly resolved. You have the BRAND NEW Pimpama train station, tons of bus services and Coomera train station close by also as well as multiple trafes.
There is tons of growth in Pimpama with all new shops, schools, roads and public transport: we love living here it’s so convenient.

"No enough infrastructure"
Maybe this place will be better in years to come. But at present it’s just another suburb slapped in the middle of no where with houses on top of each other with 1 meter in between them.

What are you talking about? Theres a brand new train station being built in Pimpama right now. Coomera train station is just up the road, and Pimpama now has some of the best bus services in The Gold Coast.

"The northern Gold Coast suburb of Pimpama has seen growth come with its urbanisation. The unit market, in particular, has become popular in recent years. The high rental yield of 5.4% for apartments appeals to investors, that is considered the midway point between Brisbane and Surfers Paradise." (c) your investment property

Houses are overvalued, cheaply built, bare minimum when it comes to insulation so hot sometimes its a health issue, yards are nonexistent. Go ahead encourage property investors but also encourage them to install solar panels so that financial hardship can be avoided for the actual human families living in these houses paying rents that are now becoming unreasonable. Units are not popular they are frequently a last resort. Times are tough for most with the exception of real estate businesses and investors with multiple properties and supermarkets etc. Some social conscious needs to be applied, make enough money instead of being greedy. Pimpama could be a great place to live instead of just somewhere people end up to keep a roof over their heads.
"Nice place to live"
Quite and peaceful neighbourhood

"Ghetto Suburb, Hoons, Hardly Any Aussies"
Pimpama is the “Mount Druitt” of the Gold Coast. I lived there for 12 months, my car was broken into, my house was broken into twice, EVERY night there are burnouts that keep your kids awake and the way EVERY person in Pimpama drives is a total joke. The most aggressive and loud drivers on the planet. The only people that live in this suburb are young families or people from another country who rent. It’s mostly just renters entirely. It’s without a doubt the single most bogan suburb of the Gold Coast and I would urge you to consider living literally anywhere else (unless you are a burn out loving loser hoon). People really only live here because they can’t afford anything else.
Check the Pimpama social media groups - thousands of complaints of youth crime, break ins to cars and houses, and the hooning/burnout situation is pathetic.
The people that live here turned it into what I’d say is one of the worst places in Australia
There are so many great suburbs on North Gold Coast.. Pimpama is really the only bad suburb. I wish we could just pick it up and plop it next to Logan where it belongs.
Hi Hannah! If you have time I would love to hear from you. We are from Rouse Hill Syd :) and are looking at Pimpama as a location for us on the GC. Would love to ask some questions if you have time! thank you xx
Hi Hannah I am a widow living in Heathcote 2233. I am looking at The Gem Life Resort. I have heard mixed reports in Pimpama. As a former NSW resident, I would value your opinion Regards Barbara
Pimpama has quickly grown & changed - it is basically a part of Coomera. It is your typical suburbia area, with lots of parks and open spaces, theres a big Bunnings, Woolies, coles, restaurants and cafes. You are about 20-40 mins from everything in brisbane and The Gold Coast. House prices went up around $100,000 in the last 12 months alone. The schools and affordability are making it a hot suburb. As interest rates go up people are being pushed further to suburbs like Pimpama pushing prices up.

Well, as all the estates are aging toward the 10- 15 year mark, crime goes up as there is nowhere for the kids to go and end up causing all the trouble.
