Leanne

Been living here for nearly 3 years after 12 months in Forest lakes down the road. What a great suburb with the best of both worlds. You feel like you are living in the country with all the comforts of a big city 5 -10 minutes away. We liked Forest lakes but went for a drive one day and stumbled across Forestdale it has been the best move for us, great place to bring up kids. Plenty of space they can ride bikes without the traffic worry, plenty of space between your neighbours so they can make all the noise they want without bothering anyone. We really notice the difference having a relaxing BBQ with a few friends out the back and not being able to hear your neighbours BBQ conversation! Highly recommend it to anyone and as long as you have a Ride on mower you can still have your weekend. There isnt a lot of places with acreage that has easy access to the city one way and 45 minutes the other way to Surfers Paradise. Since we have moved here the local shops on Forestdale Drive have really improved especially Maccas Bakery - best Beestings I have ever tasted! Also have a great local Real estate agency in the same block of shops so I suggest to drop in and see them to buy a house in Forestdale.
