Any honnest opinions on Beenleigh and Eagleby aresa would be appreciated. Or how about any of the nearby areas?

We've only been to the CBD of Brisbane so have no idea at all?

My uncle owns a very large farm in Yatala, just down the road, virtually a suburb of Beenleigh.
Great rail (cheap) connections to Brisbane from Beenleigh etc.
It is getting pretty built up around Beenleigh, (to Aussie standards) though.

Also handy for the Gold Coast

All I want is to know some areas to look at for property that are ok, ie safe and low crime rates and reasonably priced. I'm not expecting a palace, far from it. bearing in mind we'll be moving from a two bed terraced house in a cheshire working town.

Jacko1

Yup, got you now, Beenleigh very built up and commercial but the surrounding areas/townships OK not as great as Northern Suburbs but certainly worth a look

I personally would not want to live in either of them. I have lived in Loganlea, which is next to Woodridge. They say that Woodridge was put there to make Loganlea look a bit better. Woodridge always seems to be full of a mix of working class and dole bludgers. Eagleby is similar - without the workers.

Errrr no offence Jacko, but Yatala living on a farm is quite different to living in Beenleigh or Eagleby IMO.

You couldnt PAY me to live in Eagleby :scared: :scared: :scared: .

Jacko1

Well yes, but I have no idea what they are looking for.

I agree not my cup of tea either.

And I should add that I realise that not everyone can afford to live in the nicest suburbs - but there are other "cheap" suburbs that are bordering on nicer areas and have more chance of improving. If you can get the worst house in a better suburb it will always be better than the nicest house in a crap suburb.

Went to a comedy club last year, one of the comics said:

"I was stopped for speeding the other day going though Eagleby. The policeman flagged me down and asked 'do you have a good reason for driving so fast?', I replied 'look around'"

Cheers,

MrsDagboy

have you been to Yatala? We go down through there ever week to our boat as its moored down that way, my cousin owns the bait & tackle/servo there, if you've been there then you will probably know it .

Jacko1

My uncles place runs down to the river, and yes been there. Other rellies owned the land that the old folks place was built on the name escapes me , it was built in the eighties I believe.

Mrs D
Someone told me you get lovely pies there

MrsDagboy

His place must be down behind the Gem, he would know my cousin then for sure, right next to the pub .

MrsDagboy

Debsy, yep great pies, worth stopping for . They do all sorts & you can eat at the pie shop & get things like mushy peas & mash to go with the pie

(sorry, dragging the thread off topic )

debsy

oops yes sorry mate.
Oh well at least you will be able to get yourself a decent pie though if you go there
