We moved to Jimboomba from the Gold Coast so that we could have a Tree Change. We have a 3 acre property which is generally fairly quiet through the week as our property backs onto a reservation area. However some of the families in our street are into Motor cross riding so weekends can become quite noisy with the kids riding up and down the adjoining properties on their trail bikes - great if this is what you are into, not so great if you are looking for peace and quiet. I commute to southern Brisbane for work and it takes me an hour in travel time. The traffic has become worse over the last 3 years and Mt Lindesay Hwy has a lot more traffic on it these days due to all the new housing estates being built in and around Jimboomba. The shops and industry area are adequate for the area but for residents requiring more options, Browns Plains is around 25 minutes away. It gets very hot in summer and cold in winter due to Jimboomba's location so air conditioning and heating should definately be a standard feature in all homes, I wouldn't purchase a house without it! There is community spirit here and I feel like everyone knows me at the shops as you tend to see the same people every time you go out. The rates are cheap for the size of the blocks or acreages and we have good services here as far as garbage collection and annual kerbside rubbish collection goes. Crime rate seems low compared to other areas that we have lived in, however in the larger housing estate at Flagstone the crime rate is higher than the acreage estates. Internet service where we are is limited, we have to use the NBN Satellite which drops out quite regularly, mobile service is also a problem and we can only use one provider.
