Logan Reserve, QLD 4133, is a semi-rural, low-density pocket in Logan City more like a small lifestyle community than an urban neighbourhood. Rolling paddocks, creek corridors and stands of eucalypt bushland are common, and many properties sit on acreage or lifestyle blocks with a noticeable presence of stables and sheds. It attracts people after space and privacy, including couple families, hobby farmers and tradespeople who commute, and recreational life is generally outdoors rather than centred on a town centre.

About 7,016 people live in Logan Reserve and the median age is 27, with a median total household income of $1,818 a week, roughly $94,500 a year. The community is weighted towards couple families, which together make up 77.1% of families, and homes are slightly more likely to be owner-occupied (51.2%) than rented (48.8%). Local transport and community facilities are being improved: council plans a 5 kilometre upgrade of Logan Reserve Road, an intersection upgrade beside Logan Reserve State School is under way, the state lists a new secondary school and a new special school for the area, and Translink has proposed new bus routes with planning continuing.

A typical household in Logan Reserve earned a median of $1,818 a week at the most recent Census. With houses renting for about $610 a week, renting would take roughly 33.6% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, which is a sizeable share of income.

Buying is more stretched against local incomes. The median house price of $954,000 is about 10.1 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which sits well above local incomes. On these figures, renting takes a large share of what a typical local household earned then, and buying looks notably more stretched.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

House values in Logan Reserve climbed 18.4% over the past year, a strong increase in what a house is worth. House rents rose 6.1% over the same period, a solid gain in rental income, so capital growth on houses outpaced rental growth during the year shown by these figures.

Whether that balance suits you depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income and on your own circumstances.
