"It's a good town if you know where to avoid" ?? That's the problem ... you can't know, and you won't until it's "too late" (you already purchased).

"There are some dodgy parts of town as there are in any town in any country."
That is a great understatement...the dodgy people in our experience over 5 years seem to all meet in Caboolture and some parts of Morayfield, to join the normal people.

Let's face it...this area is more sought after by the lower demographics than other places, due to slightly to drastically lower pricing which naturally occurs.

I would definetely not call this a town anymore...the traffic on Morayfield Rd would have tripled in about 7 years, and the population perhaps doubled ... that's how it feels when you are there.

I can only strongly suggest to rent before you buy (this can be taken as general advice, no matter where you are), in or around the same street you might like to buy - I know it may be impractical but better safe than sorry...

Of course you are going to say that if you didn't have a good experience, which is why you have posted your own review. This website isn't created to being debates, it is somewhere to post your own personal review. So there was no need to go and start an argument against mine, I could easily argue yours but I have better things to do with my time.

I am still in Caboolture and I'm am fine with living here. Anyone smart enough knows to look up a town and search for reviews, talk to locals, etc before they move. Saying that "you don't know till it's too late" is really just a cop-out for someone who didn't do their research first.

About the dodgy parts of town, it was definitely not an understatement. Caboolture is quite a large place know, yeah some compact areas of the CBD aren't too great but there are a lot more parts still technically in Caboolture which are lovely.

If you think that the area is for the "lower demographic" then that is your opinion. I'm sure the Mayors and higher-end business people of the town would disagree with you (yes they exist).

Morayfield Road is very much larger in population, and they need to cut the area down to cope with the commercial areas. But it's not at that stage yet so of course it's going to be crowded, I'm sure the council isn't made of money. Plus, I'm sure there would be quite a few irate tenants. Though when it does happen it will weed a lot of people out of "way town".

They are my responses to the comment on this page only. Next time, leave it alone, you have your own review. No need to comment about how you disagree on everyone elses.

Please excuse the spelling mistakes above, I should have proof-read it first.

I live here in caboolture...,moving here with friends in 2008, and i didnt research the place either. I arrived with my hopes and dreams in my knapsack, my head held high and ready to make the best of it. It took a little while to find work as i had arrived at the end of november so any mature person should know thats not a good time of the year to be moving to an area in any country...as most places are closing down with xmas and holidays looming up fast. Regardless of that i signed a contract for work on the 21st of Dec to start work 2 weeks later in january...meanwhile they were happy to have me do some casual hours till then. I was ecstatic...I like the fact it has good public transport, great shopping with morayfield mall, and caboolture mall if u need something in a hurry with IGA shops all over the place. Its close to bribie island, the sunshine coast, and not that far from the Brisbane airport and City. Home is where u make it...people are what help to make it like that...family, friends, neighbours etc. I can bulk bill here, there are great opportunities workwise, all u have to do is look...and keep positive. It has good schooling, gotta be honest and say some are better than others. There is riff raff here as there is in every place..stay away from that area and those people.....There is entertainment happening here during the year...there is always something to do and somewhere to go. ive heard all the sob stories too, about drugs, drinking, murder, and assaults etc...give me a place that doesnt have something like that happen...But i do believe caboolture is a good place to live regardless. Its been good to me and i have the good fortune to live and work here..I like the fact I have accessibility to all surrounding areas and dont need to drive to far to get there......I like it I am renting at the moment and am now looking to buy....what else would i need Its all here......Caboolture.

Yes Caboolture has bad areas and with the govt approving more and more estates on small blocks they are only going to increase in number.
The 100 acres being developed behing the Market Place shopping centre on Morayfield Road for so called "affordable housing" should prove very interesting.

It's crowded as

Roger Ramjet - 1. How about something a little more constructive and helpful next time? 2. Please note, I wrote this review 2 years ago now. 3. I actually still agree with my original review, the only place I see the area crowded is driving past the Centrelink and Morayfield Shopping Centre during school holidays.

1.How about you write something a bit more helpful and not so misleading!!! 2.If you can't take another persons point of view why write a review in the first place 3.I've been there my hole life and it isn't a Little Town at all. I think Woodford is classed as a little town and Caboolture a mini city with over 50 traffic lights and over 35000 people living just in Morayfield / Caboolture not to mention the outside community's who do their business there everyday this little town jams up and it's very time consuming driving around in slow traffic. This is why it is crowded as !! (Constructively)
