"The best kept secret in south east Queensland"
It's interesting to read others perceptions of the bay and compare them to my own. What's apparent to me is its all about your personal situation and what you choose to do with your life.
Unemployment? Move where you can get a job - don't blame the suburb you live in.
We have lived in Deception Bay for 9 years and love it here. As professionals with three school aged children we find it perfect for our needs. Prior to moving to the Bay we had always lived within 10kms of the cbd in higher socioeconomic areas, we sold our home and relocated out here for lifestyle, and it's been great! We use the foreshore daily and can't believe how lucky we are to have it at our doorstep.
My advice to anyone looking at the area would be to do your research and come visit the waterfront on a nice day - people are friendly, and the degenerates are moving on because they can't afford the rents here anymore.
Five years from now Deception Bay will be the place people say they want to live.
Great for
- Close to water
- Has rural and residenntial areas
Not great for
- Some streets have teenage "boredom" issues but only a small % of the area
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Families with kids
- Retirees
- LGBT+
- Hipsters
Hi, looking to buy in the area but want to know the streets to avoid. Is there an area where most of the council houses are?
I can't recommend areas I really don't know well - The Bay is a big place! However, the waterfront area north of the library is lovely, and the acreage back blocks are great! I would suggest checking out the amount of rental properties in the area you are looking at, as well as the draft master plan the council has released. Some major rezoning in the plan will see definite changes over the coming years! Most of all - don't let the doom and gloom people away you , most of the reputation is from people that have never lived here and go on here say - best of luck with your search 😀
Is surray crt a bad part ???
ChrisK1 are the police/State Government putting more resources into getting the crime rate down? Or have they given up on it? What is the major cause of it? alcoholism/drugs? Is it teenagers or adults?
Hii hopefully you read my comment I really enjoyed reading your view on Deception Bay we are in the process of buying a property there and cant wait to move in mid jan 2016! We have three sons and we cannot wait to be in our forever home. We will only be a 15 min walk to the water, two min drive to the primary school its exciting yet overwhelmed with our life change. Positive it will be a fantastic change in our life! :)
