Caboolture, QLD 4510

Caboolture is growing in amazing ways. There is an outstanding amount of developments underway, So weather you are a first home buyer, Renting or a young family starting out the options are endless.
You will here Good comments and bad comments however it all depends on what you make of it.
Caboolture is a cheaper area to live with the perks of the Sunshine Coast just up the road and a train line to take you to anywhere you want to go.
Above comments are all about bad experiences people have had but if people opened there eyes and there ears there is bad experiences to say about any and all areas.
Some locations around town are not as good as others however before you buy or rent look around the neighborhood and you will usually be able to see what kind of area you are in.

I moved to Caboolture a lwhile ago now. After a few years I realised many people have this stigma about the place, but it is really what you make of it. If you go looking for horrible things you will find them in any town or city. This isn't just a low socio economic status area. Although a lot people here are not the wealthiest, a lot of them are very easy going.
I attended Caboolture High and it really is not a bad school. I remember when we would go play inter-school sports and most schools would be scared of us. Afterwards their couch would say how surprised they were at how sporting and fair we played. This is the stigma most people have of the place. Once you get to know it and fit in you'll enjoy visiting the range of activities you can engage in on weekends. It is close to beaches, themes parks (sunshine coast and gold coast), the bush and Brisbane. There is also a large verity of sports and leisure activities to get into. If you want to be a part of the community, signing up to a club is the best way to go. You will make many friends who enjoy playing sport and this will help keep you active and occupied as Caboolture is a very sporting town.
I know many people say everyone is on drugs, smokes and parties all night, but most of the kids don't party all that much. All these stereotypes about sirens heard at night, low income families running wild and getting mugged at night isn't true pr is a true tpo the next town. Like every town there are those streets which are dangerous. Most of the people are friendly and I found if you are polite and respect the place, many other people catch on and start being nice too. With everyone judging the people who live here it is hard not to go along with them and be negative about the place. I know many people who aspire to do great things and go to university. There happens to be a QUT near Central Lakes too.
In Caboolture there are a lot of state and private schools. The only problem with Cabooltire SHS is some negative teachers, though this is probably universal. There are also a few skate parks, bike tracks, fishing spots, water and swimming holes, local pools, PCYC and many extracurricular activities to get evolved in.
The downside of Caboolture is the super council which is run as the Moreton Bay Region. This council spendsa lot of the rates on Redcliff (local beach-side city), whilst Caboolture and other parts of the Moreton Bay Regions suffer losses in infrastructure and repairs.
The great thing about Caboolture is it is a small city ready to boom along with its neighbouring towns. Transport to Brisbane is quick and easy, access to the Bruce Highway is close to many small suburbs. Yet you can still have large acreage and keep farm animals such as horses and chickens. Please do not let those few negative people turn you away from a nice town.
If you want to invest in houses, then Caboolture is the place to go. There are a lot of families looking for rentals and the prices for houses are starting to rise with the moving economy.
Caboolture is under the Longman district and if you are into politics you can easily see Wyatt Roy around the place, not just during his campaigns. It is easy to have you say on how you feel the place can improve.
Although Caboolture is a nice place, if you want a more rural feel, some nice neighbouring towns such as Elimbah, Wamuran and Pumicestone could be more suited to you.
Overall, Caboolture is not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. There are lots of things to do other than getting drunk and partying all night. There is also a large range of animals to see and Centenary Lakes is a nice spot to feed the local ducks (take chicken feed and lots will come right to your feet).
I know Caboolture isn't the place for everyone, but it does not deserve to be judged so negatively. I hope you all find the place you are looking for.

I did my research and took months doing so. In a nutshell I can say that the area surrounding the main hospital is much better than the rest. I don’t see much of a positive nor do I see a significant negative except the usual “hooning” in loud cars during the night and early morning. Must be something in the water that inhibits the average person from getting it out of their system and growing up. A very average suburb in a lovely State and a great country.

I have lived in a lot of places and absolutely love living here. Has great hospitals, facilities, schools, shopping centres, easy access to beautiful beaches and wonderful hinterland areas as well. It is my favourite place now. I know it has a bad name but that is so wrong. The train line is so easy now too, mostly express to the city and you always have a seat. It's perfect in my opinion. The best Korean barbecue restaurant. Lots of mountains to climb, people are friendly, really easy and nice life. Soon hopefully with all the growth here there will be a better nightlife, I think it will happen. Caboolture Sports Club is good, has a great menu and quality entertainment, but that's the only thing that needs to be improved. Otherwise perfect! Move here, you won't regret it!

Since I moved to Caboolture - I've found it quite convenient in terms of getting to all major shops (Morayfield Shops are very close to Caboolture Shops) - In overall satisfaction with the place, been happy about it. It can have drama here and there but overall, stay out of it and you'll be fine... everyone around are friendly and wouldn't mind recommending this place to others.

I’ve lived in caboolture 4 years or so, it’s not really where I’d like to settle for the rest of my life. I don’t want to raise my kids here either.
I realize there’s crime everywhere but it is a little on the “abit too many scums than I’d like” side of things. Some streets are peaceful. I lived in a street where it was total ghetto, the house opposite me got set on fire in some rivalry, got burnt to a crisp but thankfully the people inside got out and survived, there was a police chase that ended on my street where the guy got out the stolen car and started firing his gun. My flowers got stolen at the front of my house, next door had an attempt break in, the local alcoholics gather at local park. But.. where Iam now, 10mins up the road it is peaceful.

I don’t like the climate but that’s not Caboolture’s fault. I was born and lived in uk til I was 13 and I find anywhere here other than along the coast unbearable. I will be moving. I’d love to move to vic but I have my teen at high school, caboolture high. It’s not terrible but it’s not great.

apart from it sometimes being ghetto as anything. there have been some really nice and genuine people around that isn’t looking to steal from you. I had left my phone at a park and called it and the person who found it returned my phone. I had another lady offer to buy my food from Aldi when I forgot my card. On more than one occasion, I was also at Coles and same thing happened. It’s pretty laid back, there are lots of friendly people. The community laugh at what we have to live amongst at times, there’s always a post on the caboolture community page about some scum that has stolen or broken into someone’s house. It is what it is. You can drive to the beach close enough. I don’t know, if the wheather wasn’t so hot and there weren’t as many scums in general I’d probably stay.

It is affordable if you are looking to buy or rent. I’d like to buy my first home so it is tempting to stay but it’s too hot for me and the young kids can’t get outside in summer. We do drive to the beach. The atmosphere is energetic which I do like, always something happening and some drama in caboolture which makes it entertaining I suppose. Most people including myself find the suburb quite laughable, they’ll be a post with someone who has lost something a the shops, people say good luck getting that back around here, and I get what they are saying but as I’ve said people do experience some good samaritans here me included. It is what you make of it I guess.

All that pristine land going for the ugliest suburbs ever, poor quality building and a lagging economy make this suburb a not so nice place to live or visit.

I Have lived in Caboolture for about 25 years now. Location is convenient to trains, shops etc. It used to be semi rural, but now the developers are moving in, block sizes are getting smaller and smaller. There are some nice areas around, but he town itself seems to be going backward. Fair share of joblessness and homelessness don't help the situation.

As kids we moved around a lot through Australia, New Zealand & England. When we moved to Caboolture I knew this was where I wanted to stay. We had room for my brother to finally get the dirt bike he always wanted, there were plenty of close basketball courts and parks to satisfy my needs and we were basically under half an hour from the beach on one weekend to bushwalking up mt NgunNgun the next weekend. I got a job in Caboolture when I finished school and unlike many other parts of the country housing affordability has never really been an issue. I have an average paying job and was still able to buy a home in the town I loved, without having to get into massive debt and without living on top of my neighbours. Caboolture has its quirks and is far from perfect, don't get me wrong, the 'bogans' that some people are weary of are certainly around, but for me I'd rather talk Bathurst than bank bonds anyway. Life is what you make of it and Caboolture is no exception.
