Areas to avoid?

Deception Bay is a beautiful suburb to live in. Some call it a secret coastal hideaway that most people don't know of. Yes, it used to be a housing commission area with blocks in some streets only 405 sqm. Crime here used to be bad. But the suburb is changing and some say it's being 'gentrified' - and more homes are owner-occupied. We are five minutes walk to the esplanade which is beautifully kept by the council. Don't believe the nay-sayers. We have met southerners who are delighted to live here.
Areas to avoid? I can tell you that right now. It's called Deception Bay. Every Street of this suburb. avoid Deception Bay like the plague. Nasty crime ridden dump full of drug addicts. it is cheap because it is undesirable with no beaches just smelly mangroves with the stink of leaking public toilet sewage at the bayside. In any cities the cheaper the suburb the nastier it gets.

Rubbish. That's what locals tend to say about familiar suburbs that are gentrifying until they realise they're priced out . Think Balmain in NSW etc. Don't be naive.
