sounds like you are excited and anxious all at the same time. Now thats keen. I know exactly how you feel. We basically came out for a rekkie a couple of years ago to decide where we wanted to live. But have plumped on somewhere we never actually visited!!

What I mean is, my uncle moved to Mountain Creek and said it was nice. Then when was weighing up the schools found out that Mountain Creek school had a cracking reputation and my lads education is paramount to me, so I merged it with living near my uncle and bingo - came up iwth a place. My uncle has cracking taste in stuff and we are very close. Plus I have family in palmwoods,coolum and yandina which we also considered. But palmwoods looked a bit remote for us, coolum we would have considered and yandina was too far out for the kids.

we want somewhere where our kids can socialise and mix with other kids, which they can as there is a good catchment area in mountain creek.

But without seeing it, we have committed to an area of the sunshine coast we have never seen due to what it has to offer us.

So basically, start off with whats important to you and then ask around if there are any areas which can offer that. Then research the area itself. Hope that helps.
