Eagleby, QLD 4207

Been here for 1.5 years, heard of so much crime and recently been a victim of it, 20k worth of locked up equipment brazenly stolen from the back of a secure complex, cought on camera and police won't do anything.

I’m not one to write reviews but I’m so thankful we have found this hidden gem! So central to Gold Coast and Brisbane. Public transport is excellent and buses and trains nearby. Charming area with so much potential. Everyone is so friendly and can really feel the community support. So glad we decided to purchase here!

Eagleby is a hidden treasure. We are so glad that we have recently purchased here. It’s great for the kids, clean and great parks nearby. A few walks that lead to reserves or park land. Very safe and neighbours haven’t had any issues everyone is so friendly. This was one thing we were worried about but it’s come a long way. Lots of good potential in a convenient location. The location is honestly the best! It’s so quiet, peaceful and love the bird life. The new Eagleby pool is so handy to have and there is also a shopping village down the road with fresh and save (worth the stop if you’re driving by, great prices). Has everything you need and soon will have easy access to Cleveland beaches, it’s a no brainer. Everyone should buy now while they can as it’ll soon be over priced and you won’t be able to get in

Eagleby is a great location to live if you want to be close to both the Brisbane and and the Gold Coast. It's known as the "golden triangle" as it's perfect location for Brisbane, Goldy or inland towards Ipswich. Friendly people around and not as rough - it is changing very quickly with new people moving into the area. Others are being priced out and moving to different locations. Eagleby will soon no longer have the bad stigma attached to it.
If you are into fitness, then a run or walk around the Logan River Parklands is a must. It's great for families. So many things nearby and large shopping malls close aswell. Cleveland area and beach just a short drive away.

Eagleby is a great location, it's close to the M1 and in the middle on Gold Coast and Brisbane. It's also a more affordable suburb and good area to live in.

Have lived here for years, it's a great place to live. Haven't had any issues and neither has our neighbours who have lived here for 20 plus years. Great investment as houses are reasonably priced and usually come with a good sized section. Used to live in Coomera and Ormeau and the people here are so much more friendly. Great parks for the kids and walks from central Eagleby to the boat ramp and around the park. Has no issues and it's safe heaps of others out walking and families. It's changing quickly and some great changes happening in the area

Just make sure you do research on which areas are safer in Eagleby. There are quiet areas that are more safe, but troublesome and drug addicted neighbours should be highly expected if you blindly just move there. Expect them to play music so loud that your home vibrates and sounds like a nightclub, from 10pm through to 5am or so. Nice parks around, but can never really go anywhere alone such as a bank or a park. I dunno, I just felt rather unsafe there, during my stay. Home security is a must, as all of my neighbours had been broken into. Expect a snake or two to sneak in aswell and expect lots of dangerously heavy flooding during cyclone seasons. The entire parks near my home were all under water and we could just see the tops of the basketball rings, along with many homes and vehicles - such an eerie sight if you’d never seen it before. It’s a close drive to Hyperdome shopping centre, which is quite lovely, but unfortunately, just not for me and my kids.

Good location and very affordable..but not for much longer as family rush in. Midpoint between Brisbane and Gold Coast, doesnt get any better. Families are rushing to Eagleby and the Coomera Connector will make it even a better suburb. Low socio issues are disappearing fast as middle income professionals move in.

A great suburb with an unwarranted stigma. Fantastic for people entering into the property market at an affordable price. Some parts of Eagleby are truly beautiful and picturesque. Perfectly located half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast for a lifestyle. A great sense of community is also evident.

I own a townhouse in Eagleby on Riverhills Road and love the place for convenience and parks. It is 2 minutes off the M1, 9 minutes to Logan Hyperdome, 15 minutes to Dreamworld and 25 minutes to Westfield Helensvale. The entire corridor between Brisbane and Gold Coast is being bought up and Eagleby cannot continue to be over looked. Go down to Ormeau, 9 minutes or Shailer Park, 8 minutes and pay an extra $200,000, nope.

My elderly father has lived in Eagleby for 15 years. It is on the lower socio economic spectrum with lots of migrants and retirement villages. It is no longer part of the gold coast. Yes there are some youth issues but I feel quite safe going to the shops, I just wouldn't use an ATM without someone with me. There are buses that run around every 30 mins in peak and every hour after that. For one of the poorer suburbs it has one of the highest council rates I've ever experienced. People will just wonder into your yard if you don't have a fence with a locked gate. And Dad's pawpaws and passionfruit get stolen off the tree/vine regularly. He has had to add extra security in his yard recently due to thefts from his sheds. I am concerned for his welfare but he won't move. I only recommend Eagleby if you have no other options.

I purchased an investment townhouse in December of last year in Eagleby, 5 years old 3bdrm x 2bathrooms with visitors bathroom downstairs. that is positively geared. With a dream tenant that really looks after the property. Excellent value for money ~bought at 220k. I live in NSW and have lived in the North Shore, and now Hills district. What impressed me when viewing the property in the area was the quietness, 93mts away from Police station, primary school directly across the road, closeness to Hyperdome ~10mins or 8.3kms, construction that was happening nearby with the new petrol station (7 eleven with it's retail outlets). And there were other civil roadworks in progress. The distance to Brisbane city via car 31mins or 35kms), distance to Gold Coast 38mins or 47kms. The freeways are very wide heading south, and not bad also from Brisbane. The area where I bought is also very quiet. My friend also has been living in the area for a number of years and has had no issues with neighbours or other. There is also a new connecter to compliment the M1 in planning ~ https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Projects/Name/C/Coomera-Connector
Which will give further ease of traffic to Brisbane. For further investment stats ~ https://www.investsmart.com.au/property/qld/4207/eagleby. Also new development has been approved for local Beenleigh Village ~ http://www.yourneighbourhood.com.au/shopping-village-precinct-george-street-beenleigh/

Anyone who's lived in Dandenong or Frankston in VIC, this is worse. Sure, there are many parks for your kids to play at, but they are highly unsafe unless you go with a group of people (I know from experiences). We constantly hear yelling and drug/alcohol fuelled arguments from neighbours. There have been break ins next door. The shopping strips and centres look outdated, dodgy and ghetto like. Even the feel of Eagleby/Beenleigh is ghetto like. It's one of the safer areas in Logan but I don't feel safe here at all, especially with a toddler to look after. Socially speaking, nightlife is non existent. There's not much to do at all. A very quiet and slow paced area. Quite boring.

I live on the Beenleigh end of Eagleby, about 500m from the M1. For me this is the best place to live in the world. For the past 14 years I have owned a home here and worked in the city. Its a 10 minute walk to Beenleigh Station and a 40 minute run to south bank-at work in under an hour, Its a 5 minute walk to Big W and the Beenleigh market place. I walk past cows in the Agricultural college in the morning - nice. Across the road we have a huge park and skateboard ramp plus boat ramp access to the Albert River. I love Kayaking and regularly train on both the Albert and Logan Rivers. We have a really great fishing pontoon that regularly produces catches of Jewfish, Mangrove Jack, huge bream and of course mud crabs. Like others have mentioned - its a short run by car to the gold coast, Brisbane and up the Logan Motorway to ipswich - its smack bang in the centre of everything.

I bought here 2 years ago after renting for sometime. Its a great little area to live, with Easy reach of Gold coast, Brisbane City and the Redland shire. All about 25-35 mins up or down M1 highway. Its has alot to offer with sporting facility's, shops and general shops and medical centres etc. I like this area very much, but things need to change. Shopping centre needs updating, more petrol stations and maybe a cinema. Its has huge potential to be a mega top place if facilitys and new venues added. The only down side is the local mayor and council need to clean it up and start motioning to get rid of the lower class bad element that live here. Police need more powers and help to get rid of the small percentage of losers that give eagleby a bad stigma. I know personnally that one or two houses in a street can really bring much grief to other house owners. House commission and goverment authority departments need to harden up and get rid of these persons that absolutely wreck, smash and demolish these houses and use them to deal illegal products from. Its not hard to put in a good tenant who really needs the house and will treat it like there own, I know as I have a sister who has resided in house commissioning for many years and really looks after the house and property. Its better to do your research and investigate the person, before just putting them in there, as its the private owners who suffer for many years till finally they wake up and get rid of them. And would it not be more cost effective in the long run. As for this Eagleby is a great place and has and will continue to get better year in and year out. I would also like to say that the police and emergency services are second to none, they are absolutely fantastic and do a exceptional job within our community. Now maybe the council and the mayor of eagleby and beenleigh may wake up and really get behind eagleby community and do something for its excellent community residents. Invest, create and grow our suburb, put a bridge to mt cotton and give us a second way in and out of eagleby.

I bought and moved here in early 2010 because of the potential for property development and benefits of being close to schools, public transport routes, M1, and close to Beenleigh and Yatala, which are master planned areas. Eagleby has very nice neighbourhoods. It is bordered by two rivers and the M1 which makes it in a sense an island. Therefore development will have limited possibility to expand outwards and thus land will become finite and valuable. Eagleby has everything of a well planned city, commercial centre surrounded by medium density and parks, followed on by low to very low density as you move out towards the rivers. Happy living in Eagleby and looking forward to exciting times ahead!

You can still find cheap property in Eagleby its just harder now than before.

This place is really great. So close to everything. You can't go wrong.

. Like all good locations, Eagleby was chosen as a place to settle by Queensland's early settlers.
The lower slopes of the Darlington Range which decend to Eagleby and Beenleigh were accessable by boat from both the Albert and Logan Rivers. This high ground provided a firm and dry dissembarkment location for men to access the higher mountain ranges that decended from the ancient and extinct Mt Warning volcano. Here the giant tress of the sub-tropical forests could be harvested.
In the conquest of this New World Wilderness, food produced on Eagleby's fertile river soils sustained the combatants.

Summary:

Exclusive and settled modern suburb with a highly desired level of legislative protection from the forces of external growth and expansion.

If you want more than a endless suburban road lined with Hot Chickens, Video Stores and traffic lights then consider the settled location of Eagleby.
