REDCLIFFE but also look at Scarborough, Clontarf, Margate, Woody Point, Brighton, Sandgate and Shorncliffe.

They're all along the same bit of bay as Redcliffe but Shorncliffe also has the train station linking to city etc..

Part of Burpengary also are on the Redcliffe side near Deception Bay. There are nice new estates in Deception Bay and I know people who live and like it there but as someone who rented there for 6 months on arrival Deception Bay was just a staging post for us and not somewhere to live long term.

Yes, I would imagine the bars in Redcliffe would be worse than the ones in D-Bay, but then i would also wager that the trouble-makers in the Redcliffe bars probably live in D-Bay.
It's like if you go to The Hamilton bar in Ascot. One of the most affluent suburbs in the whole of QLD where property prices are the highest in the whole of Brisbane, yet the clientele in there you would imagine you are in the centre of Inala. The bars do not make a suburb

Property prices in Shorncliffe, Sandgate and Woody Point have already taken off though. Personally, I don't understand why people would pay $350-500k to live in North Lakes, which is a few hundred metres from the Bruce Highway, when you can live on the Peninsula and be a few hundred metres from the sea for the same money.

Quite agree I'd go for anywhere along the bay before NL's anyday.

Deception bay has a lot of crime and alot of problems, Redcliffe is fantastic and margate. Scarborough. Woody point and clontarf all exeptional. I personally prefer redcliffe and margate, the beach area is spectacular and the hub and bub and the lifestyle is awsome. The lagoon and the shops you are really living the dream there. Its pricey though thats the problem and i found the people all really friendly. Alot of english have settled there. Cant fault it.Avoid deception bay and rothwell and north lakes as that is one big housing development stuck in the middle of nowhere.
