Reedy Creek

"Just about everything"

A terrific little suburb that's about eight minutes from Burleigh beach (I ride my bike there in about 20 minutes for a run and a dip), five minutes from Robina Town Centre, five minutes from Stocklands and has it's own, brand new, Woolworths shopping centre. The suburb has a range of living options from acre size parkland estates, some with stunning views of the coast, to high density town house living. Reedy Creek has a number of high quality private Christian colleges and is only a short distance to Mudgeeraba and Robina primary and secondary schools and Bond University. I know of at least one local child care centre.
Residents are obviously proud of their neighborhood as all the houses are well maintained, clean and neat, though they do seem to like their privacy. People are friendly but they do tend to keep to themselves.
It is a a very quiet suburb in close proximity to natural bushland and a large, local park. In the parkland estates it isn't unusual to wander out in the morning to see black face wallabies in your yard and at night find possums in your trees. Many of the residents take advantage of the extra space and keep chooks and raise terrific vegetable gardens and fruit trees (though watch out for those possums!). The creek itself lies within a protected wildlife corridor as the area is home to flocks of black cockatoos. The creek handles our heavy Queensland rain without a problem and drains excess water very quickly. Flooding hasn't been a issue in the five years I've lived in the area and I back straight onto the creek.
The suburb is going from strength to strength. Along with a brand new Woolworths (opened early 2012), Varsity Train Station, a new bulk-billing doctors surgery and pharmacy the area also has a number of small take away restaurants.
Not only is there a local train station but there is also a frequently running bus service out to Robina Town Centre. The bus includes a stop at the train station and also takes in part of Mudgeeraba.
Internet access is ADSL only in the estate areas and mobile phone coverage is good for most providers.
In summary, Reedy Creek is a great place to live, convenient to everywhere and would suit just about anyone after a bit of green space and a safe, family environment.

Great for

  • Green and close to nature.
  • Central to everywhere, with good public transport.
  • Schools, medical, shopping and great access to everything else.

Not great for

  • Internet access isn't great in some areas.
  • No local gym.
  • Driving in the suburb at school times. For a short period twice a day, traffic is shocking.
