Everything is here for me. I have Orion Shopping center, uni and work all based walking distance from each other. It's usually very quiet, although you get the occasional hoons driving through the main road (but that happens everywhere). I don't find the need to get out much, with such a friendly and peaceful atmosphere who needs a car.
However, getting in and out of Springfield is the tricky part. As Springfield is developing as Queensland's next satellite city, the public transport systems is a little stalled in time. The train stations are due around mid 2013 and the busses only come hourly and scribble around the map through Goodna, Redbank and Browns Plains. Hopefully within a couple of months that should have improved, in the meantime I suggest to get a car...
Overall, this is a nice place for student living. I'm sure it goes the same for young families as well, as I do see a lot of them chasing their kids around the shopping center.
In comparrison to the surrounding suburbs, Greater Springfield is the new Buzzlighter and you'll find that moving to the "new hotness" is a great transition from the "old and busted". Take it from a kid who grew up in Loganholme *shivers*
