One of Australia’s most polarising suburbs, Surfers Paradise provides a ton of aesthetically-pleasing natural aspects and apartment living that’s fairly affordable, however its orientation as a party-centric suburb & high house prices will make it alienating for families in particular.
Highland Park is a quality all-rounder suburb that offers a solid balance of convenience in location and price of housing, and is highly safe to boot.
Dodgy no more, Palm Beach has morphed into a high-end, swanky beachfront hub of continued development while still retaining its inherent natural beauty. Shame about those prices & traffic, though.
Remarkably green, well-kept & safe residential suburb provides a pleasant living environment that is ideal for families, although will likely be a little ‘boring’ for others outside that demographic.
A hinterland vibe without sacrificing too much in the way of distance, Mudgeeraba has a unique character that some will find lovely & others mildly boring – but is undeniably pretty.
One of the busiest & most varied suburbs on the Gold Coast, Southport offers a choice between multiple different lifestyles and tons of amenities, but suffers somewhat due to traffic and crime issues.
Good-value, mid-tier Gold Coast suburb provides a ton of amenities & great greenery, and is far better nowadays than its past reputation.
