"Good pockets, bad pockets"
I somewhat liked my time in RS but there are some sketchy areas. There is some spillover of demographics from neighbouring Woodridge. Also the M1 for commuters is more of a parking lot during peak hours and there aren’t many alternative roads.
"Perfect for young families"
We've recently moved here with our young kids (all primary aged). It's such a beautiful suburb and the community is very dynamic, diverse and positive. It's close enough to Brisbane to feel like an outer urban suburb but also far away enough to be it's own suburb. Col Bennett park is awesome at sunset!

"FNQ paradise"
Hot, humid, bugs and wildlife galore. But ohhh so sweet. Flat and good of riding bikes.

"Unique but over priced"
Another overpriced suburb for the location. Usually full of old people but the new apartment buildings have sweetened the suburb up. I actually enjoyed living here as a young married couple but I could also see others getting bored. It’s a nice suburb but a small suburb. Overpriced for what you get

"You want to love it"
Like other suburbs in this neck of the woods you would think because of the low crime, access to national parks and high house prices that it would be a desirable place to settle. I find the suburb to be boring full of older people and very stressed mid-40s trying to understand why they decided to move here in the first place. There’s a history to this suburb but I don’t know how much future is on offer. I would imagine it’ll continue to be an expensive suburb 30km from the city but I cannot detect a distinguishing feature that makes this suburb unique and vibrant. Look elsewhere. Boring area with no imagination
"Bit of an odd one"
So much to like about this area. Isolated from Sydney and full of green areas. It would appear to be a lovely place to live however I just find the culture to be boring and lacking any originality. Just another typical overpriced Sydney suburb that is safe and flooding with new/old money who want a safe house for their older kids. I grew up here and it was a very different area. No one who grew up here still here, only their aging parents remain
"Becoming one of the charming corners of Brisbane/Logan"
This suburb is a gem for young families. Houses are still quite cheap at the time of writing this (Sept 2021) and the schools are pretty good. Most important is the natural setting of the suburb.. right next to a beautiful bush land area! There’s lots of beautiful sunsets as well as it’s set higher than most suburbs (not flood prone either). The people here are very relaxed and friendly. So glad we discovered this suburb and made the move from the stress of Sydney.

We send our primary aged kids to Boronia Heights state school but weve heard great things about St Philomena school - it is a private school located across the way in Park Ridge which isnt far
Which schools would you recommend in the area?
