Opinions please - living at the Sunshine Coast

[old_mate]

Hi all

My lovely fiancee and I have entertained the idea of moving up to the Sunshine Coast, we holiday up at Kings Beach regularly and love the place, have also spent bulk time at Maroochydore and love it there as well. Basically, we'd have about $380k to spend on a house up there, wanting to know what areas are still reasonably priced and how close to the water can we get? I'd love a older beachside unit but with having a company vehicle and two of our own, plus the XY means for now thats impossible.

I have thought maybe Bribie would be ok, i could even probably brave the Bruce/Gateway and still work in Brisbane (office is at Northgate, just off Nudgee rd) but i really have no idea. How hard is it to get work up there? Im in the telecommunications cabling/security/cctv/electrical game.

thanks :0
