kaiju Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hi, we are thinking of moving interstate and these two suburbs have really caught our eye with regards to village community feel and still not far from the action. (Or so we believe from our internet research so far.) Can anyone shed any light on these suburbs? Both seem to have decent state primary schools, but what will our senior school options be for instance? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmwoods has a small high St. with several interesting cafes, primary school and quite large housing estates and a train station, pub. IGA? Can't help with senior schools, probably have to be bused? Don't drive through Woombye much so can't help there. Buderim is much larger and very popular, good primary school, several private and state senior schools in the area, loads of shops, amenities, Dr's etc. Mountain Creek good school popular area,not particularly villagy, Dr. dentist and shopping square with Woolworths, butcher chemist etc. but close to Buderim with loads going on in the area. Sippy Downs still growing, school seems to have a good reputation and the university, lots of shops, again not villagy? I don't have school age children so can only go on what I hear about schools, but most seem OK. It's a lovely part of the country, but I am biased.

Roberta2 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Depends where you are going to be working. Traffic in and out of Brisbane in rush hour is pretty horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, we visited Sunshine Coast 15 years or so ago now. I like the look of Buderim but not the price of property !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberta2 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Best to rent for six months. The rental market here is pretty soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiju Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 How is the sales market on Sunshine Coast? Dont want to wait 6 months and end up paying $30k more to buy a place ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta2 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The costs of buying the wrong house in the wrong place can also be high - including stamp duty. As to the market in particular places, see realestate.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
