From looking at the current top line review (and others), I would say "Don't believe anything on this page".

If you are considering this suburb for any reason - do some research - but not from this website!

As an owner/tenant it may be a cheap initial investment, but consider what you want to get out of that investment.
It may not be worth it in the long run.
If you are looking at a property, talk to the neighbours and someone a couple of streets away.
If you feel uncomfortable doing that, then don't buy!
There are several mentions of a 24 hr supermarket - they are talking about a 7-11!
There is NO 24 hour shopping centre...
there is a significant number of welfare, pension,unemployed.
This is not neccessarily bad but the quoted employment profile managed to ignore them completely.


Woodridge does have good access to rail, schools, and shopping centres.
It has access to major transportation corridors, but at anywhere near peak hour there are major delays.
"15 minutes to Brisbane" is doable late at night - IF the numerous traffic lights are feeling kind, but more realistically "1hour to Brisbane" would be more accurate.
It is a mixed culture suburb.
this could be a good or bad thing depending on your personal attitude.
Most of the people I have met have been nice, but the ratbags can be really unpleasant.
It does have a significant drug problem.
It does have a high crime rate.
It is the administrative center for a city (Logan). The elected officers and Mayor got sacked in 2019 for corruption and bullying - there are a couple of good councillors who got caught up in this...


When cheap hot dogs at Ikea are considered a selling point by multiple reviewers - then I get suspicious...
It is NOT good for beachgoers - there is no beach within a 30 minute drive and closer to an hours drive.
It is NOT a country town - it is highly commercialised and highly developed (not high rise ).
It does not have a good nightlife, unless you consider a pub to be "nightlife"
I would not recommend it as ideal for raising young children for numerous reasons. High traffic density and major roads, the "gang" problem I mention elsewhere among others.
There are parks and sporting facilities - I can't comment on the quality or nature of them. There is limited, if any, bush walking areas.
Many of the houses in Woodridge were built during the 70s by cheap, dodgy developers or as govenment housing (Housing Commision). If you are looking at these properties get a thorough inspection performed. (generally anything chamferboard, hardiplank or similar would need careful checking anyway.
The block sizes were considered small at the time, but could be considered reasonable in the current climate...


I wouldn't live there if there was any other option.
I don't mind walking around the main streets during the day but not the back streets anytime.
There is significant "Gang" related crime - much of this is people who are legally considered children, and who tend to be repeat offenders.
(they get caught, get a slap on the wrist and are out and doing whatever thy want later the same week)
