ANY INFO ON GOOD AREAS TO BUY AND PLACES TO STAY CLEAR OF.FOUND SOME GOOD BUYS IN AND AROUND BROWNS PLAINS ,CREASTMEAD,25 KM FROM CITY.I AM FIRST HOME BUYER,CHEERS
You will also find many bargains in Woodridge and Kingston as well. Unfortunately all these areas form part of the less reputable areas on the southside (outer south).
It would depend on where your work is and your mode of transpost as well, those areas are in Logan Council so direct access to the city via public transport isn’t fantastic (Grand Plaza does have okay bus access).
I was a young tike when I lived in Marsden and went to Browns Plains High School years later. Both areas went downhill a bit since then so don’t buy with an eye for education facilities.
Slightly better might be Hillscrest or Baronia Heights, but I’m not sure its by much.
Of course it also comes down to money and how much you can afford to spend. I was lucky, I got a just under 1/4 acre block of land in forest lake and put a 20 square house on it for about $150,000 about 5 years ago… even in Springfield Lakes (further west and south) you would struggle to even get that size in land, least of all for a price that could allow a house and land to be under $230,000. In respect to that though the plan to make Springfield Lakes a railway station and also the plans to make the largest shopping centre in Brisbane there may turnout to be a good long-term investment, again it depends on what you can safely afford.
