Profile
Underwood has come a long way since it was merely a rural area dotted with weatherboard and ex-Housing Commission homes. Almost like the little suburb that could, Underwood is now home to some of the Logan Shire's most impressive, and often most distinctive, properties. A number of new estates have had an impact on prices in the area with many houses architecturally designed. Development is ongoing in the area as more and more people cotton on to Underwood's ever-increasing appeal. Older weatherboard homes and brick units can still be found in Underwood but perhaps not for too much longer. A fairly new suburb, it was gazetted in 1975, Underwood is close to the Pacific and Gateway motorways as well as the Kuraby train station. There are six primary and secondary schools in the area as well as two shopping centres. Local employment opportunities may be found at nearby commercial and light industrial companies, the Australia Post mail exchange based in Underwood, and businesses located in Springwood.
