Just moved from benowa to molendinar, schools vary from area to area. Enrolled my kids at benowa it has a good rep, which area you like depends on work and travel, whether you like new our old housing. In general the area its good. Crime is average, avoid upper coomera and surrounding areas they have a bad press at the moment. I like more modern housing, my price range was $450,000, found myself looking at Gilston, molendinar and pacific pines.
