I have heard a bout increased crime rate. Personally I live since and never had any issue and never seen any issue at least in my street. We've lived in Pimpama since Nov and I personally it's a great, thriving place.
There are 2 malls, pimpama junction and pimpama city. Both are clean, and nice places to shop. The street we are on has had zero criminal activity since being here, that I know of. I can't fault pimpama on anything.
It has what we need, traffic is what you'd expect with this population. They're building a new school on yawalpah road, and a police and fire station too. Hi Danal I am planning to buy land at pimpama village new state but not too sure. Currently living at Ormeau hills. Do you think Pimpama is a safe place? Too many rentals? Which area do you live? Yeah I think it is safe.
I'd avoid these areas to live because these are the ones that pop on local facebook groups the most with having suspicious activity. But if you're sensible and lock your cars and keep valuables inside I don't think you'd have a problem. I live down by sunstone ave. I have never lived in Pimpama however I have worked as a real estate agent in the area for a number of years. I write this review with the intention of providing someone who is not familiar with the area an overview of the suburb and hope it is useful in some way.
Pimpama has been labelled one of the fastest growing suburbs in the country in terms of population growth. Located on the northern end of the Gold Coast it has the benefit of being an easy commute to either Brisbane and the Gold Coast's many lifestyle attractions.
That said there is a large number of infrastructure projects that have either been completed recently, is currently under construction or been approved and soon to be commenced. As a large suburb that stretches across both sides of the M1 it offers a wide range of housing options with certain sections of the suburb being older and more established and others very new and higher density.
With so much growth, development and choice whether you are looking for your first home, to upgrade or downsize, a sea change or an investment property to buy or rent - Pimpama continues to be a popular choice for those comfortable with taking advantage of the area's growth, affordability and central location in exchange for some growing pains that comes with the territory most of which is currently being addressed.
We rent here, our home is newish which is nice and we are on the corner so we more yard than most, rents are overpriced like most suburbs. The Junction shops are rough and grubby. Streets are narrow and driveways are often short so parking on the street is normal - which is probably why there are so many car break ins. Aggressive hoons are rampant doing burnouts at all hours.
In 4 years living in Upper Coomera we rang the police once, here in 18 months its been around 10 times, drunk people fighting mainly, so the Tavern they are going to build is not what we need. As soon as we can we are moving.
Yawalpah Road is better since they fixed it but its going to be much better when the exit to the motorway is fixed. The schools are not air conditioned so we drive to Upper Coomera. Pimpama City shops are nice. Pimpama is an unsafe suburb there is not a single day that you don't have cars doing burnouts and the sound of continuous police sirens The houses are built on small or less blocks and Yawalpah road is a death trap.
I hope this review helps someone considering moving to Pimpama my advise is buy or rent anywhere else because Pimpama is a depressing unsafe area to live. I didn't like this place at all, I have since moved to Townsville and love it here, will never go back to Pimpleparma.
Don't listen to any one who tells you its close to everything. Its a depressing suburb. Cheap for a reason. That reason being new cheaply built homes, jammed tightly together, in the middle of a cane field. How did they get those streets so narrow? I have lived in pimpama for three years, When we first moved here there was lots of bush and was a nice neighborhood. In the time we have lived here there has been a huge amount of development and all the bush is getting cut down to make room for it.
The bigger the place becomes the worst it gets. I moved to Pimpama in and left in I feel like Pimpama has a real strong community and lots of friendly people in the neighbourhood. I made friends with all my neighbours, and whenever my dog ever got out from the yard, whoever found him was always a caring stranger that went of of their way to make sure he got home safe. There is also a Pimpama neighbours Facebook group which I think is great for connecting a small community.
I think a lot of people are renting in Pimpama, as for the quality of rental properties I think a lot of others can agree that these houses were built cheap, as quick as possible and not much quality or care put into it as there was always something wrong or not done right. Some negatives I do have to say, was that the roads and traffic definitely are a deal breaker.
School and work traffic in the mornings and afternoons, everyone is just as over it and there have been many car accidents. With there really only being two ways out of Pimpama, it can get frustrating if you need to get to the highway, and then have even more traffic whenever there is a delay or accident on the M1.
I have heard of a lot of breaks ins, thefts, stolen vehicles, troubled teenagers, domestic violence etc which happens no matter where you go. But nothing seriously bad had ever happened to me personally, other than some fishing rods go missing from the front of my house. There wasn't that much to do in Pimpama for entertainment, but at least Woolworths, a nail salon and good coffee was within walking distance. Overall I did enjoy living there but could only ever live there temporarily.
Close to the highway half way between GC and Bris. More shopping options. More rental choices. Houses are a little close but who cares make friends with your neighbors grumpy people below.
Home sweet home, a bit tight but its a peaceful place. Its like living in a town house, but at a single dwelling price, out in the middle of no where. Pimpama and coomera and most of these areas on the gold coast fringe are just full of kids pushing prams and uneducated bogan tattooed types raising famillies, the houses are all packed together and the alot of the local kids care more about there fashion and meeting up with friends than they do about school, jobs etc. Very un classy area it is middle class but i dont like it and dont try and argue with me because this is litteraly what these areas are like.
So because they are under educated according to yourself this means they are unable to raise a family. Maybe they are trying to do there best for there sons or daughter and have come from a family which never gave them the support or home to do so. You should have a moment to think and remove your comment. You never know what one tattooed or non tattooed bogan family have come from.
Actually traffic is already an issue. High volume of renters. Return on investment not so good. Gainsborough Greens is by far the best estate out there but others bring it down in terms of property values. Vacant land values are also above market rate and people have issues getting their loans approved because their house and land doesn't value up.
For some, this is a gateway to home ownership or at least a stepping stone where rent is cheap you can accumulate savings. If you are happy to be in an urban jungle surrounded by houses, cars and renters and isolated to the rest of the gold coast. This is a place for some. Have been living here for 2 years no complaints. Community is great. So many new houses and shopping centeres are building.
We were thinking of moving here would you suggest it is a friendly safe environment for me and my family? Pimpama is an outer suburb. There are some beautiful large acreage properties with a lovely country feel. Yet only half hour to south Brisbane and an hour to Gold Coast beaches. Real estate agents will use the motorway as a sell point, however the motor way is a parking lot most of the time. Its mainly m2 blocks with cheep new houses tightly packed in, next to a motorway, with the basic services and recreation of an outer suburb.
Also that motorway the agents rave about is a parking lot during any peak hour. No TV reception despite having an antenna.
No wireless reception. We are in a black spot. Optus are way behind in their game on this. They only offer expensive NBN plans as a substitute for their poor coverage. There is a need for more shopping options and for medical facilities, such as chiropractic, etc.
Also a need for Pilates and yoga groups. Traffic is a hazard between the two roundabouts from Exit 49 to Yahwalpah Rd. Trucks, and other vehicles, go flying through there, when the speed limit is only 60kmph.
I was almost taken out by a truck coming across toward Rifle Range Rd recently - right near the very spot where flowers are taped to a sign pole. The immediate double merge lane just as you exit the Yahwalpah Rd roundabout is a dangerous exit; as cars flying around in the right lane attempt to overtake the merging left lane drivers onto the M1.
There is no nearby local community centre, that I am aware of, on this side of the M1 for socialization support of the community. Ideally located for young families need access to Brisbane and to the Coast. Great range of schools, parks and local activities, it needs more shopping options but they are all on their way. Beautiful, peaceful, quiet, green and lush and everyone is friendly. A nice neigbourly feel. We bought our second home here.

You can add the first. Ham was a member of the Victoria Cotton and Sugar Plantation Company which grew cotton on the southern bank of the Pimpama River in about Dependant on a cotton shortage caused by the American Civil War, the industry was soon supplanted by sugar.
Several plantations were established by German settlers and in Heussler and Bauer were recorded as having the largest sugar holding 49 ha. A small Pimpama village was established where the South Coast track crossed Hotham Creek, with a store, a hotel and a school Within a decade it was found that northern sugar growing was more profitable, and in Pimpama the occasional mild frost was beneficial for growing arrowroot: the frosted tops of the plants were easily removed and the root harvested.
Used in starch, biscuits and blancmange, there was a steady demand for arrowroot at a time when Queensland's population was increasing. In the Post Office directory showed arrowroot manufacturers outnumbering sugar planters in Pimpama. The South Coast railway had a stopping place at Pimpama, and dairying was taken up when produce could be railed to the dairy factory at Kingston.
