Park Ridge is one of Queensland's fastest-growing suburbs, located 34 kilometres south of Brisbane CBD in the Logan municipality. Population has surged from 2,500 in 2016 to over 8,400 in 2021 as new estates transform former farmland into family neighbourhoods.

Life in Park Ridge centres on family and community, with excellent schools including Park Ridge State High School and Parklands Christian College drawing residents from surrounding areas. Shopping is served by the Park Ridge Town Centre and nearby Browns Plains. The community is increasingly diverse, with significant Indian, Samoan, and New Zealand-born populations contributing to the evolving character. Park Ridge attracts young families and first-home buyers seeking space, affordability, and a quieter lifestyle within commuting distance of Brisbane.
