Springfield Lakes, QLD 4300

We've lived in Soringfield Lakes since October 2005 and now own two houses here. We love the parks, the trees, the layout of the suburbs and the shopping has everything you really need, with more on the way. There's a good selection of primary, secondary and tertiary education facilities. The train will service the suburb by the end of 2013, so the public transport challenges will be resolved. In the meantime, we commute by car to the CBD every weekday and it takes between 35-45 min each way, and that's door to door. With the Centenary Hwy duplication it may be even quicker. The prices are reasonable and cater for a wide range of budgets. We have free use of tennis and basketball courts, sporting fields and the lakes for water activities. Plus any number of fenced kiddy playgrounds, dog parks, and picnic and BBQ facilities. It's fantastic living close to forests alive with birds and other wildlife. The air is clean and it feels good waking up to fresh air and sounds of nature. The local tavern is modern and has beautiful decor and good facilities, without that dodgy pub feel. We have great restaurants serving great Thai, mixed Asian, Indian, pizza, fish, roasts in addition to Subway, Maccas, KFC, Coffee Club to name just a few, so I can't see how people can complain we're not well catered for. It's true this isn't a gourmet's paradise, but seriously, you can have a good night out and still afford to catch a local taxi home afterwards. We have the award-winning Robelle Parklands where we have weekly markets and regular activities in addition to it being a great fun park in its own right. The famous Brookwater Golf Course is 5min drive away. This is an award-winning master-planned community which has long be overlooked by people being snobby about us coming under the auspices of the Ipswich City Council and being outside the so-called "magic circle" around Brisbane's CBD. This is a great place to live and is a credit to the originators and ongoing developers. And no, I don't work for either!

Springfield Lakes is a green, community-focused suburb known for its beautiful parks, lakes, and family-friendly atmosphere. It offers excellent local schools and convenient access to shops, eateries, and services. While peak hour traffic on the Centenary Highway can be a drawback, this is largely offset if you're within walking distance to the train station — making commuting to the CBD by rail a reliable alternative. For those who work locally or from home, it’s near perfect. With affordable housing and a strong lifestyle offering, Springfield Lakes is a top pick for families and professionals seeking a balance between nature, space, and convenience.

Really only one major road in and out to the city, horrible in the mornings and afternoons. Train is good however the parking for the train is quite a distance away. Only going to get worse with all the new housing developments nearby.

I love this suburb as it is beautiful and close to the shopping center. A huge car park close to the station make it easier to get to the city by train to avoid traffic.
Very convenient suburb with nice people.

We moved here in Oct 2021. Very peaceful surrounding, lovely place to live.

SAFE PLACE TO LIVE IN

Best place to live .

Perfect place for investment or living.

Best to live in every way.

I remember driving to the old Springfield back in 2003 thinking whom would want to live alllll the way out here. But from the moment I read the book "Stop Not Till the Goal is Reached" by Maha Sinnathamby I knew that I wanted to be a part of this community. Maha had a 'master plan' that has created a connected community that has risen from the bush out west of Brisbane in Ipswich on unwanted land. I personally enjoy the outdoor spaces, the parks for children to play and the connected pathways that take you just about everywhere. It really is a space that while houses are close, the parks and paths to explore are closer.
