Depends largely on your Budget and needs.
Large blocks, small block, trees, Ocean Views, Acreage or walk to the Village are all available.
Home budgets from $400,000 up.

All the best Lloyd...............

Hi, if schooling is your priority then you are spilt for choice in both private and public schools, however they can have long waiting lists as Buderim is fast becoming the destination of choice for many young families seeking a great education in conjunction with a beach lifestyle. Look at areas such as Buderim Meadows, Headland Park, Mountain Creek at the foothills of Buderim, Sippy Downs for the University and entry level buying. Everything is only 7 to 12 min drive from Buderim. If you need more information please feel free to contact me anytime :)

Hi there. Buderim IS a suburb (there are no suburbs in Buderim). Buderim is a suburb of the Sunshine Coast and, if you can afford it, the place to live. Central position, up a hill (less humidity) and a great village feel to it's main street. Be mindful of nearby suburbs that 'claim' to be in Buderim (Kuluin, Kunda Park) as these are NOT in Buderim and won't attract the same sort of pricing or 'snob value'. You will hear the expression 'on Buderim' and that means that the house is actually on Buderim mountain and you can pay a fortune for it but there are many other areas of Buderim that are a lot less to buy. Good luck!

Headland Park, no doubt. We researched and looked endlessly, but kept coming back to Headland Park. Close to everything (beach in particular) and feels more ‘rainforesty’ than the very top of buderim. Great schools, fairly affordable and huge blocks. Very rare to find property here and when they do they’re snapped up. Best choice we ever made.

One little thing to be aware of in Buderim is that some of the areas over the ‘back’ near Kunda Park, Mons etc are extraordinarily expensive to ensure.

I am struggling to choose between buderim and Mountain Creek. I have three children aged 9, 7 and 3 and they will need public schooling as opposed to private. We are looking for a community vibe with accessibility to a central town with good amenities. My daughter loves to dance and my son is obsessed with soccer. My 3 year old needs a good long daycare centre. Any thoughts?

Hi holly06 - I am in the same boat right now trying to decide btwn the 2. How did you get on? Do you have any insights for what you chose?

Depends if you desire a younger, friendlier community and vibe or an older, much more expensive home on one of the 'top' streets in Buderim, which has access issues and traffic in village that can be harrowing at times. I chose Mountain Creek (really great acces to everything - and good schools) after moving out of Buderim, with NO regrets whatsoever! Been there done that!

Thank you so much thats really helpful

Buderim over mountain creek for sure! Mountain creek had some terrible issues with flooding in 2022, and that doesnt look likely to change. Theres talk of issues getting insurance there in the not too distant future. Buderim is higher up and more established. No brainer!

Anywhere near the top of Buderim Mountain, especially on the northern escarpment, is THE place to live on the Sunshine Coast bar none. It catches the ocean breezes in summer and is nicely sheltered in the cooler months. It abounds with parks and trees, including a beautiful rainforest remnant and a reserve teeming with native wildlife, especially magnificent lorikeets. It is handy to everything the Coast has to offer - magnificent beaches, restaurants, shopping, golf clubs, plus a variety of excellent schools, private and state, within easy reach. The burgeoning University of the Sunshine Coast is adjacent, while a variety of medical facilities is available, with the new state-of-the-art University Teaching Hospital only a short distance away. House prices are not unreasonable and the variety is immense. All this and it has Clive Palmer as its local MHR. What more could you want?

Update please! Mr. Palmer is NO LONGER MHR. Voted out and Thank goodness! Good riddance!
