Well at least with the UCSC ALL kids can go to the one site, albeit diff actual schools (Kindy up to High)

Upper Coomera is ok, we like it. I wouldn't buy here as plots are just too small, but for location it works well. A good few schools, Theme parks nearby, Westfield not far, Brissie isn't really that far at the right time of the day (4am ... ), and all the rest!

Oh and Helensvale High can't be more than 20 mins and I know HH runs a school bus from Upper Coomera if that's of any use!

Good grief, you've only been gone a few weeks. It's a blockman

I don't want a plot at all. I am going to sprinkled over the ocean.

Good observation!

... altho I HAVE done well with lingo since back here. The motorway is now the motorway ... The bit you leave is the junction, and yogurt is yogurt. Pasta is pasta, and I'm goin to a pub for a drink, not a hotel ...

Anyway, I like my mate who owns a real estate chain's terminology for the plot / block ...

A piece of dirt! ...lol

HI
Don't really mind a small plot as had a huge section in NZ and it was a nightmare to look after.A section big enough for a pool and a bit of garden is great.Thats good to know about the school buses.

Yeah big plots involve lots of maintenance I know, but it's the privacy factor in a lot of the UC houses. Ok, I won't be doing anything in my garden that NEEDS to be hidden, but having a 2 floor house sitting prob no more than 50 foot from your eating area, it DOES give you the feeling of being 'watched' all the time ...lol

NOT all houses / gardens like this, but LOTS are!

Yeah I think most of the schools have half decent school bus runs. We was in Ormeau before and the kids got a school bus from there to the UCSC ...
