Culture
On review website Homely, Griffin has mixed reviews. Most reviews are positive with mentions of the suburb being a family-oriented community with a great local school (in reference to Griffin State School). A minority of the reviews are overwhelmingly negative with complaints of mosquitos, high noise levels, property crime and one with a very specific grudge against the seller's real estate agent. It is mentioned that Griffin doesn't yet have a sizeable commerce sector with grocery shopping having to be done in nearby suburbs. Other than that, Griffin generally has quite positive reviews.
