Brisbane - North Lakes
We are aiming to arrive in Brisbane next March / April. On our last trip over in April we had a look around North Lakes including having a look at a few show houses.
Is anyone out there living in North Lakes and have any opinions they would like to share?
We thought that it could be seen as being a little twee, but at the same times appeared to be well planned and constructed, has everything there, close to Brisbane, the airport and convenient for getting up to Noosa and ideal for a first base.
Comments please!

Thanks for that - just what we wanted to hear. We thought it was great and I just wanted to check that it wasn't full of marauding gangs of teenagers etc!! We couldn't see a downside when we were there, and just thought that anyone who was living there would have by now if there was one!
Hopefully we will speak again and we will see you inside the next 12 months

I saw from some other post that you were moving. Anything you have recently decided was a problem with North Lakes and making you want to move?

Springfield lakes is on the proposed east west Ipswich corridor
This area is set to be the densest populated region in Brizzy history, with proposals for 100,000 more homes.
Most homes at springfield lakes albeit are new, have postage stamp sized yards, and what was a unspoilt outlook, is now 1000 more homes.
Its growing at an alarming rate, and is a lovely area, but is changing DAILY.
2 years ago, there was a handul of homes !
