Springfield Lakes is a nice area, very 'new' as you probably aware. About 40 odd minutes to Brissy CBD. Cant tell you about schools sorry as i'm at Forest Lake.

 

Hiya we are about 15 mins drive from Springfield lakes its a lovely area,lots of developing going on ,the new shopping centre is great,im sure youll like it there,good luck

hi guys, thanks for the info, springfields looks like a nice place but its always nice to find out from "real" people! only so much you can find out from the web etc. have you got any other ares that we could have a look at? hubby will be working out of toowong, so within about 30 -40 mins from there would be good.
thanks, sheena

 

hiya there are lots of nice new estates being built all over ,the best advice i can give you is to drive around once you get here,only you know where feels right for you.Good luck it wont be easy

hi cal, thanks for info, we are going to do that ( as in drive around etc when we get there), its just nice to try and get a bit of info before you go. it will be a lot easier when we get there!! (sooner the better!)

 

the centenary highway from Springfield lakes takes you straight to TOOWONG ,its about 30mins,,hope this helps

hi cal, thanks for that, the area you are at, what is that like if you dont mind me asking?

 

we are on the outskirts of Flagstone estate ,which we think is a lovely family area ,schools,shops and childcare all on the estate and nothing else is too far away,you also have the choice of a standard 800sqmtr plot or acerage living if you need that extra bit of room(especially if the boys like their toys,lol).lots of after school clubs for the kids round and about and more sports than you could possibly participate in ,lol.hope this helps a bit

hi cal, thanks for the reply, going to have a nosey round later and see what i can find on the web, my 14 year old is sport mad, so it sounds great for him!!! he loves his football and has played for our local teams, but hes also getting into basketball, and seeing as how he is 6'2 already it could be a good sport for him to get into!!!!
