Springwood, QLD 4127

I will describe Springwood as the poor mans jail for Brisbane. The suburb sits right on one of the busiest sections of the Brisbane/GC highway and I can smell strong exhaust fumes through my window night and day. There is a high amount of hooliganism when it comes to young people and vehicles its just at a level thats something else. They actually come here to perform their carry on nonsense at night so be careful out driving. There are little to no employment opportunites and one of my saddest moments is sitting on a bus every weekday at 6am (which is the second bus that comes to my stop because the first one is always full for that route that time of day) and seeing the highway Northbound packed to the gills with traffic that is moving at a crawl. Allow 90 minutes to travel to work if you live here. The crowd is always from logan to Mt gravatt and once you get outrside of that the traffic will start to move again. There are some crowded suburbs in brisbane but this one is a cut above them. Constant roadworks that have been ongoing since they finished the 'improvments' which has brought the sight of a concrete jungle to the area. Overall quality of life is much better Brisbanewide once you leave this area.

If you like being amused by having your property repeatedly broken into and pets poisioned, this is the place for you. The amount of speeding motorists, stolen vehicles getting dumped, and burnt in our streets has become ridiculous. I am listening to sirens on a daily basis.
My own teenage grown daughter was almost abducted by a man in a black sedan walking home.
This suburb is not what it used to be. Growing up in this area, I have witnessed firsthand the crime rate excel to new heights.
My advice is to ensure you do your homework / research. Plenty of reviews and advisements are fake and misleading.

Springwood is very clean and quite. Lot's of good cafes and restaurants. This suburb is everything you could wish for.

I love Springwood. It has everything on top of that real estate is still affordable. We bought here at the start of the year and was the best discussion. Springwood has everything from small shops to major ones. What is best is that the streets still have the suburban family feeling. Best place to raise a family.
