I'm probably biased but we love this suburb - for us it ticks all the right boxes. We've lived in Fairfield Waters (Idalia) since 2001 after buying one of the original 4 display homes and there were just 20 or so houses then. So we've seen the suburb grow and develop from the ground up and frankly we'd be hard pressed to live anywhere else in Townsville. The suburb has it all - close to schools - public and private primary/secondary schools, shopping centres, sports facilities, Ross River Creek, the CBD, the hospital, JCU, restaurants while the parks and the river walks/bike paths are excellent. The breezes come straight in off Cleveland Bay and are wonderful in this climate. We love the area so much we recently built a new home in the suburb. Financially the suburb has been a winner for us as well.
