I got blindsided into the move. Small town, pretty, peaceful. If you love nature and not much else then you could survive in this town, however if you need entertainment and stuff to do and see regularly then you won’t. It takes an hour on a Highway to get to an actual town with a few things going on. Very limited. Good luck.

I lived there for a few years, I was living a great lifestyle, I loved it… never had an issue with crime or anything, I only wish I never left. I felt at peace living there but as a renter it was difficult, some streets were difficult to get used to with how close the houses were to each other and noise, but the better areas that are walking distance to the water seem hard to get, such a carefree relaxed lifestyle, felt like I was on holiday everyday and then there’s Redcliffe down the road which is such a bonus and Westfield around the corner, I have lived in many places since and it just can’t beat Dbay and Redcliffe. I only wish I could’ve bought a house there and lived there forever, now I’m stuck out in a place I don’t connect with, I feel like dbay is the ex I will never get over! I love you Dbay!!! Such a beautiful time in my life that will never be forgotten…

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.
