"Friendly, peace and handy"
Handy to beaches, shops, airport and yet peaceful. Love living here.
"Close but no hurrah"
This is such a nice area but there are a few negatives that we just couldn't get over in the long run. It's a shame, but hey, you can't have it all!
1) Catchment is Pacific Paradise, most probably the worst primary school on the coast. Great if you're a proud bogan and are happy for your kids to underachieve in life. Coming in at 2nd worse would be Maroochydore State, the next closest public school. Private schooling is hence imperative and the drive is a pain. 2) Midges are rather fierce and made life for my 4 year old hell as the little blighters are particularly attracted to him. 3) You need a car. There's no getting around that one. 4) Alleged trapped bull sharks ruin it for the rest of us. 'Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to swim'. 5) The golf club membership will be too expensive, especially after shelling out for the private schools.
"Beautiful, quiet family friendly area"
Twin Waters is a beautiful place to live and is so convenient to beaches, shopping, schools, parks, etc. When we first moved to the Sunny Coast we lived on the "south side" in Meridan Plains/Currimundi area but always hated the hectic drive of Nicklin Way (or Bruce Hwy) when trying to get the kids to school. Up on the north side of the Maroochydore bridge, Twin Waters sits quietly, with minimal people, traffic and noise and and allows such easy access to the highway, and our children's school at Immanuel Lutheran College - just a 5 - 10 minute drive up the highway is a breeze!
We love it here and the kids are always out enjoying the pool or their yard and just "being" and enjoying everything the Sunny Coast has to offer. We love our neighbour - though not sure how much she loves the madness of our 3 child household! Great crab fishing in the canal just a wander through the trees away and a very easy couple of minute drive to lug the kiddies and dog to North Shore beach....Love it!

Despite the apparent "fear" of these 3 specific things, that often come up in conversations about Twin Waters, none of them outweigh the advantages of the location in my opinion...
1. The Mozzies...We experienced far worse mozzies in the Meridan Plains/Currimundi area whilst renting to be honest...they get a bit annoying when it's rained a heap but we've never been chased by swarms up here on the paths like we were south side!
2. The Midgies...again, a little annoying at certain times but not so bad I hate living here because of them. I've heard there are certain times of the month/lunar cycle that they breed more readily so this may explain why the school Mum's all generally complain around the same time about being "eaten alive" despite being in Buderim, south side or north side. Anyone who doesnt like midgies should perhaps live on the Gold Coast where concrete covers nature!
3. The Planes...they don't bother us at all! Something you get very used to - the birds are quite honestly noisier throughout the day than the planes. The airstrip is apparently being moved/re-directed at some point too, so Mudjimba will be more prone to the aircraft noise in the long term. It doesn't bother us either way
though.
I hope this has helped. It's all a matter of personal opinion and priorities. We love having the pool and yard and being super close to the school and CBD without the traffic hassles we had south end. Being mid Sunshine Coast, north side of the bridge allows flexibilility and ease of living in truly beautiful surrounds!

"Mudjimba -great place close to all amenties."
Mudjimba is situated between Maroochydore and Coolum on the Sunshine Coast. This beachside town is right on the beach the only thing separating the beach and the town is a road. Great for fishing this beach is ideal for swimming, surfing and diving. There are convenience shop, a caravan parks as well as the Apex camp which caters for school groups, church groups and sporting groups. Mudjimba has some good property deals but because of its location is staring to become more expensive. Being only minutes from the main center of Maroochydore where there are major shopping centers and medical facilities.

Worst school on the coast. Your a dreamer. I've had two generations go through there with very high achievements. Don't blame the school. They are great.
