Caboolture is like anywhere these days, it has its good and bad points. Your own attitudes and behavior are the keys to the type of life you will have living here.
I moved to Caboolture from Victoria 10 years ago now and have to say I actually love where I live.
If you hang around trouble makers you will likely find yourselves caught up in trouble. If you are a law abiding citizen, have a bit of common decency and respect you will see that you are not alone.
I have rented since moving here and have lived in 3 different areas of Caboolture (apart from the first 15 months I was here in share houses). I have had no major problems in any of the properties I have lived in. You have the occasional noisy neighbors, barking dogs, or hoons who shouldn't have cars or a license but nothing that you wouldn't get anywhere else. I have got to know some of my neighbors in all 3 properties and had times where I could be there for my neighbors and they were for me also.
There is always plenty of negatives about any aspect of life if you go looking for them, as there is with any area you live in. I have had no major issues living here, I have studied at the local QUT/TAFE, I have been part of community organizations and groups, and I have found work in a community I have grown to love. There are so many health centres, schools, day cares, parks, sporting clubs and groups, cafes, local community events, a hospital at our door step with rapidly growing services.
There are plenty of things to make living here a positive, but if your hunting for it - you will hear/read a mixture of hugely exaggerated things and the type of things that go wrong in any suburb. I wouldn't walk the streets at night - its common sense, but that would be the same regardless of where I lived. If you engage with the community in a positive way you will reap the rewards of the seeds you plant.
