Caboolture

"Central Lakes has my vote for family and convenience"

We moved up from Sydney. When researching where to move to in Brisbane everything pointed to Caboolture. It was the gateway to the hinterland, to Bribie Island, to the Sunshine Coast and only 35 minutes to Brisbane airport. We chose Central Lakes Estate in Caboolture as it was a new estate with recycled water. We thought that was diffierent as not many estates offer recycled water. And central Lakes has had a shopping centre with Woolworths, Coffee Club, Medical and dental centre, 24 hour gym, and other take away and retail outlets open up recently. I don't know if it's luck or the people but our neighbours are great so we haven't had any problems. It doesn't have the congestion but is convenient and close enough to all the facilities we need as well as being next to a public and private hospital, university, private schools, Tafe, childcare etc.

We thought at first, what have we done, we left Sydney for this? But for the lifestyle and value you gain the cost of housing is half of what you would get in Sydney comparing our house to where we used to live. Area is more for families with bike tracks, walking paths, lakes, playgrounds, bbq facilities etc. Not the place you move to so you can party and there are plenty of families with younger children in Central Lakes. So if you are thinking of moving, go for it. It aint Sydney or Melbourne but the weather is fabulous, the Caboolture markets is great for cheap and fresh produce and there are plenty of alternative and eco friendly, organic services/markets in the area. Sunshine coast, Bribie Island and beaches are approx 30 minutes or less and being only 35 minutes it is an easy commute to the airport if you travel a lot. There is a train station at Caboolture whih is about 50 minutes to Brisbane city. Also, Central Lakes Estate was not affeted by the floods in 2011.

This sounds like it was written by a real estate agent :) If you are moving from western Sydney, this is paradise.

My thoughts exactly Melissa.It sounds like someone is trying very hard to sell the place

And why shouldnt they sell the place? .. It's just a shame people dont put as much effort into building a community they are proud of and filling the place with positivity as they do talking utter rubbish negatives online behind a computer screen, this shire has a phenominal rate of growth, excellent schools and a growing business portfolio, crime is actually dropping and returns for those with half a brain in realestate have been great. Nobody in the country has gotten off scott free given the countries financial dramas but all in all here cabollture stands holding its value quite nicely in the medium to high quality realestate end of the market. Ps: I'm no realestate agent.. just another hard working resident that is sick of unhappy often unmotivated crap talkers on the internet.

Lovely and close to the new addition to the hospital, an entire hospital dedicated to mental health.
It will defiantly attract a lovely crowd and is also where the local jail brings inmates who are hurt or not feeling the best.
Perfect position directly across from a school.

So judgemental so easy to say such nasty things hiding behind a computer screen while glaring & silently judging others in real life. Maybe you should look into the local recreational activities the place offers & get out & enjoy yourself a bit. There's wonderful beaches nearby & the bike tracks, walking paths, lakes, playgrounds, bbq facilities sounds like a nice lifestyle.
