"NIce beachy town close to city :)"
Nice beachy town very close to city. Don't believe everything you hear about it, Come and stay for a while :) People are very friendly here and I feel safe walking around here at night. Great gym and basket ball and skateboard park next to the pcyc. Nice fields. Great library and nice little op shop next to the iga. Public transport is excellent. We live by the water and have excellent neighbours, Haven't had an issue with hooning or partying / loud noise. The local shopping centre is nice and has everything you need but yes could use a facelift. It could use a cinema I think. The surrounding cinemas are Kippa-Ring and Morayfield. I haven't had the need you use the schools as my kids are grown up but see a lot of kids going to deception bay high and primary. There is a flexible learning centre close and a couple of private schools in Rothwell and Burpengary. I personaly don't think it deserves the bad name it has, it is a nice place to live :)

Seems Kataina has a "Tunnel Vision" approach with her comments and of those who actually live and invested in "The Bay". I am NOT an agent just a person that has bought here to live and myself and many others LOVE IT! You are entitled to your opinion and others to theirs!
If it's night life, being close to the city and transport at your door your after then YES the bay is not up there. But if you want a place to relax, stroll by the beach, and still close to shopping and bus and soon RAIL it has it all!.....suggest you spend MUCH MUCH more and go buy Chermside or Annerley !
I'd have to agree with Mark. ....If y Po u want the advantages of inner city living; then that's where you should live. The Bay doesn't deserve to be bagged because it doesn't meet the lifestyle options available to those seeking nightlife options. There are a lot of people living here that do the fit into the over 60 or single mum category who are very happy as well. I'm sorry your experience hasn't been happy for you, however I tend to think it may be your own unfortunate situation rather than the suburb. Best of luck with your move.
Written by the local real estate agent no doubt.A young tasmanian couple are going back home and so am I,NSW>This place sucks if you are under 60.Retirees and single mums-make way for them.
