big gorilla

Does this relate to all of Deception Bay or one part in particular?

I have no idea what the above is talking about! Lived here for 1 year and a lovely place, think the mental health comment more related to the writer.

I must agree with Jimm 18 on that one . I have lived in Deception Bay now for 13 years, it's a gem in the making.
It is most certanlly not perfect but tell me where is? The suburb has been over looked by council for years in favour of the Red Cliff Peninsula but the natural beauty of the water front is hard to overlook when its positioned so well.

I think these people exist everywhere..and unfortunately for you they sensed your problematic attitude thus you attracted this behaviour, just a thought..namaste

My lil family of 4 moved from west Chermside (10 years living in that area and surrounding suburbs) and bought a house near zammit oval just over two years ago and never looked back. Had no problems what so ever. Have had our car stolen, burnt and house almost broken into @ Chermside and Boondall, havent experienced anything like that since moving to dbay. We also live at the end of a cul de sac and have about 5 neighbours around our fence line, have no issues with any of them. Deception bay is geographically larger than most suburbs, experiences might differ in each part. Only thing is our commute to work as both my husband and I work in toombul and Taigum. Thats the only complaint here.

big gorilla - the name gives a clue to the thinking behind this post, and would give a zero on the analogy. South East Queensland is a great part of the world; with Deception Bay a great location to access all the amenities such as beaches, schools, shops, parks etc with a lovely climate. Hoping that big gorilla takes his own advice and finds a home far far away from Deception Bay. I bough here 12 years ago, love the friendly neighborhood, walks along the bay have no doubt this hidden location will come to light and people will see beyond the rhetoric and negative percieved description of this great hidden location.

Ok wayne tell my why 99.9 per cent of the brisbane population shun deception bay and avoid the suburb like the plague. If deception bay is in such hot demand then why are there still properties for sale under $300k? Tell me why property values are stagnant in Deception Bay and tell me why people lose money when they sell their units in Deception Bay? where is the million dollar houses, show me the million dollar houses where are they? Be honest with yourself if deception bay is such a great place then why are there so many criminals living there stealing cars around brisbane and then dumping them in Deception Bay (seen it happen) and doing a runner. Why is there always a polair helicopter flying over the suburb every 2nd night? Hardly a comparison to Ashgrove is it? I make no apologies for pointing out the facts.

big gorilla; reading between the lines it seems you've had a loss in the property market and looking to shift the blame. As for stagnant prices; many areas across Australia have stalled and rating an area on price; really - are you saying Sydney or Melbourne is a better area to live than Brisbane? As for facts; 99.9% of Brisbane shun Deception Bay, try reading other reviews on this site.

I lost money in the property Market? When did that happen? That's news to me. The only reason why people say they like living in Deception Bay is because they didn't make the effort, chose they easy way out, the better than nothing option and just pretend they like the place because they can't admit they made a bad decision buying cheap garbage real estate among-st criminals and drug addicts now they have to grin and bear it. They easily get offended when someone tells them the truth about the suburb. They wouldn't spend the time saving the extra cash to buy somewhere better. it's all got to be "i want that right now" with only half the effort given. If you buy property in garbage suburbs then you have no one else to blame but yourself. Why anyone would think deception bay is a wonderful place seems ludicrous to me.

Big Gorilla, there is crime everywhere. I have lived in 2 different places in Deception Bay and never had a problem. Maybe you attract those kind of people.

Thank you for all the varied reviews... Dbay certainly seems like a place to consider buying, it even has better reviews than North Lakes!

Big Gorilla, i am glad you don't live in dbay. I have lived in dbay for 7 years and the property prices have nearly doubled in that time, it is the safest suburb i have ever lived in, i have lived all over Australia. Millions and millions of dollars have been spent on infrastructure in the past few years, more and more businesses are moving into dbay, and there are many many properties over the million dollar mark in dbay.
