Woodridge

"Not the best looking, friendliest or intelligent people"

I don't get how this suburb is rated so highly on this site. This site has got to be flawed and the people commenting may be on the wrong planet. I grew up here and spent most of my adult life here. I can't believe I was able to dodge the drugs and criminal charges through high school. I was one of the very lucky/rare few that were able to do a 360, and work hard to and get myself a job. Subsequently earning myself a ticket out. During my entire time there I never felt safe or trusted anyone. All i felt was pity and disgust. Crime is high (probably one of the worst in the state), Housing commission homes are a plenty. The police are flat strapped and crimes go unsolved. There's no way I'd bring my children up in that suburb.

Not great for

  • Poor community spirit
  • Great place for persons on welfare
  • Great place for mental health patients
  • Can be dangerous
  • Creeks and some shopping areas are untidy.
  • Awful dodgy, crime, weird people
  • Highway traffic
  • Poor quality tenants

i think the review says it all about the writer.
never been out of the shadow of the town hall clock , low self esteem, cant see the wood for the trees and definitely from his own description suffering from some form of paranoia.
sounds so much like a small town spoil t rotten kid.
i can assure the writer there is far far worse in australia than logan , to generalize an entire suburb in the manner that they have is grossly unfair upon the decent hard working people who do make that suburb their home and there are thousands and thousands of them.
how about a little balance instead of this negative diatribe from someone who it would seem has an axe
to grind.
perhaps a few weeks in the inner west suburbs of sydney or riverwood dodging bullets every night could see a slightly different perspective .
whichever way travel is one of the best educations , so get a few more klms under your belt mate and then perhaps you may realize there is things perhaps as not as bad as you have described .
to have brought peoples looks into the equation is a very sad testimonial to yourself .
i sincerely hope the people around you where you have chosen to live at present dont look down upon you as some sub standard form of humanity as you have apparently viewed those around you during your time in logan .
when you mention they are not the best looking people does this include members of your own family ? or only the peasants who had the misfortune of having come across your path.

I strongly disagree.. i Lived there for 5 years its a good suburb. its not dangerous! there is no drugs! there is a huge police station HQ in woodridge trust me there is alot of good police petrol in woodridge. demographics stats show most people are retirees and hard working and home owners. look on real estate sites show all houses neat and tidy with large rooms big yards and recently renovated. by saying woodridge is a dangerous area with heaps of drug dealers and crminals you are offending the majority of good people living there for many years. woodridge to me is 5 star and the bad reputation is history already.

It kind of makes me angry to read these glowing recommendations of Woodridge. I currently live in Woodridge and my next door neighbours are drug dealers. There have been police raids, but they continue to deal drugs. There are often violent confrontations, and death threats to be heard from the street day and night.
I wish I could afford to move.

Having said that I grew up in a different part of Woodridge that was quieter and safer. It really depends on which part of the suburb you live in, and although some parts are bad, it's no worse than any other low socio-economic area.

Wow, I never saw anything of this around Woodridge or any of the surrounding areas. I did see a car chase once, and my grandparents were broken into whilst they were away on holidays, but that was really about it. I don't doubt there are rough areas and bad seeds, but I think it is an inaccurate representation of the suburb as a whole. Just my opinion.

I cannot believe the amount of people who disagree with this posting. I've lived here now for only a year and a half (we brought an investment property but with the first home owners grant, you must live in the place for a year before being able to rent it out), Woodridge is disgusting! I'm no snob, far from it however.. the amount of crime I have seen in only 1 year says it all. I live on what is considered the "nicest" street in Woodridge and even than, every night without fail there is a huge domestic with people yelling at every word under the sun at 3 am. I've had over the year 14 cars parked outside the street where I live and without fail, every single one of those I have spotted someone trying to break into it. I have called the police many times after witnessing someone trying to break into a car.. and their average arrive time is one hour, though there was the odd occasion they came within 20 mins of my calling. Don't get me wrong, there is some lovely people here, I've spoken to a few rare ones in the shopping centres but even than, 80% of the people in this suburb are horrid. Without fail, no matter where I go in this area, whether it be the local post office or any of the shopping centres, I always seem to witness some crime occurring, day or night. There is much more to say but I would just be going on and on and on.

what are the good areas in woodridge can someone who thinks there are better areas tell me where they are. Drug dealers can live anywhere. I live in a good suburb in my town but drug dealers rented in the next street after all they have plenty of money.
