We lived here for 2 years and it irritates me that the rating is so high. The biggest issue we've had while living here is the noise. The houses are packed together too tightly and you can hear your neighbours having conversations inside their houses - 2 houses away from us and across the street. There are dogs barking almost constantly throughout the suburb but especially on Chello Street and Summertaste Parade. People are always parking too close to intersections, roundabouts and street corners so you have to drive around them and try to avoid oncoming traffic. If you rely on public transport, don't live here. It's unreliable and there are only 2 bus stops. There's nothing to see or do in Griffin. There's a couple of small playgrounds but there isn't any nature or scenery. They are starting construction on shops near the 7eleven but they won't be finished for about another 3-5 years.

Pros it is relatively safe and most people are friendly.

My advice to anyone looking to move here would be to look at places in Murrumba Downs, North Lakes or Mango Hill and to avoid Griffin entirely.
