Most of Aspley is suburban homes, the streets all coming off main roads. Traffic is dense during peak hour and it takes half the commute time lining up to leave the suburb.
There is a good bus system at the hypermarket and most of what you need is around the corner with your more major retailers a hop-skip over at Chermside.
The area is packed with familes of all nationalities, kids on bikes in cul-de-sac roads, people walking dogs, quiet neighbourhoods with friendly neighbours.
I've heard of a few teens trying to break into cars, and we installed a security camera but Im sure petty crime is common throughout Brisbane.
It's an ugly place. All the homes packed ontop of each other and jungles of streets and roads connecting, but it has a great community spirit and so we're pretty happy here.
The rent isn't too bad for the size home you get. If you're lucky enough to get an application in, grab it.

My sister lives here and says it's a dense housing jungle. Each night you get to fall asleep to the magical sounds of V8 wonders hooning the local roads.
You can sure count on unrestful slumbers when you worry about being broken into for the 3rd time and having no reception to call police. Local home owners, pocketed between housing commission, are unfriendly and pretentious, perhaps they should invest in the neighborhood drugs being sold on the local corner to chill out.
If your in a Sunday pickle and ran out of bread, it's a casual into town trip with a much needed fuel stop to return home.

I was talking to a Police officer off duty who advised that there are more terrorist, drug crimes, pedophiles, suicides and murders in the Logan region than any other region in SEQLD. This info aside, I have lived in Waterford/Marsden, Crestmead and Browns Plains and my personal opinion is I wouldn't raise my kids there or send them to state schools. Im talking about your neighbor 3 houses down who partys, the one down the street who rev's the V8. The constant disputes you hear from the state homes.
If you're looking for investment area's try Sunshine Coast, North Brisbane and even Southport on the Gold Coast.
