Hi,

We stayed with friends in Helensvale last year, which is not far from Pac Pines and is really lovely. I did detect a hint of snootyness while we were there suggesting that Pac Pines is an "estate" though I thought it looked fine.

Its one of the places we will be having a look at when we eventually get there, along with Helensvale, Coomera, Upper Coomera and Ormeau. (OH will be using train to work in Brisbane CBD).

From what I can make out from all the way over here (boo hoo) there is a fairly good scattering of schools along that way. Obviously will need to check this out for ourselves upon arrival but I am not too concerned at this point.

Good luck!
Ren.

It is an Estate, with a roughhouse pub.
Try Riverstone Crossings, or Huntingdon downs in the same area.

It's probably quieter down there....bigger blocks, but with motorway noise up here. I walk the dog round the 'Glade Drive, Pac Pine Boul, Binsted Road' block at least twice a week....trying to shrink at the moment

Hi we have lived on Pacific Pines for over a year now and love it, as most have said on here, it has all you need, great parks & bbq area's, socca field skate park, tavern great schools. I have relocated a few families to PP and all have been happy with the choice.
