"Around Warroo Drive"
We moved here from Redcliffe. Yes there are Bogans/Hoons, just like in Redcliffe, yes there are robberies just like Redcliffe. The nightlife to be honest is poor but then it's not all that in Redcliffe either. Public transport could be better to the city, you still need to get to Narangba or somewhere for the train. The Bruce Highway is only a few minutes away which makes it great for trips up the Coast or driving into Brisbane (except in the morning when it can be very busy from about Bribie Island turnoff through to the Gympie Road turnoff). Schools are not that great in the immediate area but just outside of D'Bay there are some excellent choices. Police and Ambulance are right there on Deception Bay Road which is very handy. Northlakes is only up the road and this has great shopping and there is a new Aldi's coming soon. There is a Domino's, Subway, video shops, Woolworths, Wow sight and sound, McDonald's, KFC, IGA, Eagle Boy's, BWS x2, loads of wholesale shops the list goes on. There are also a couple of really good gyms in the area and a local pool. Our neighbours are great, very helpful. Beach is not amazing compared to Redcliffe or the coast but it's great for afternoon strolls or fishing. The area is really improving as more owner occupiers are moving in. The place not to be now is Morayfield. I will buy my next property here, not in Redcliffe which is a bit overpriced and made out to be something it's really not (I grew up there). If you have not had a look at Deception Bay then you should come and see it while it's still affordable.

HI 2Happy, sorry I didn't reply sooner don't look here very often really as I already live here. You said your children went to Deception Bay North State School and Moreton Downs State School. I have not heard bad stories from those schools. When I say travel I mean they are not within walking distance for most parts of Deception Bay. Scarborough state school I have heard is one of the best primary schools about the area, but of course this is well out of the area, I have a niece going there and she loves it. A couple of private ones are good and affordable once you sit down and do some 'maths' to see what the cost is eg. Southern Cross. I would suggest if your children are happy where they are then keep them there, more often it's the teachers that make the schools.
I'm so sorry this was so late, and probably no use. I really enjoy living in Deception Bay and I have lived in many places around the world, this one works for me. I hope you still enjoy it too.
Hi oddjob69,
We're looking to move to Deception Bay in the near future. You stated above that you have to travel to good schools... would you mind saying which schools you'd recommend, I would really appreciate the heads up. Thanks in advance:)
