Southport
You'll find everything you need here: tree-lined streets, welcoming locals, fresh air, a nearby patrolled surf beach and the infamous Southport Yacht Club.
Schools in Southport are home to two of the Gold Coast's oldest and most prestigious private schools. TSS 'The Southport School,' an all-boys school, and St Hilda's, constructed in the early 1900s, the only all-girls school in the area. These are two of Queensland's most prestigious schools. Accompanying the two private schools are Southport Primary and Southport Highschool, both well-established schools. Southport High School is well renowned for its range of exceptional excellence programs and recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary.
There are eleven high-rise structures planned for Southport, which is fast becoming one of the Gold Coast's real estate development hubs. Many of the new skyscrapers, such as Brighton on Broadwater and Pivotal Point, feature a combination of residences and commercial sites.
Located in Southport, Australia Fair is one of the Gold Coast's oldest and most popular shopping destinations. Adding to the cosmopolitan feel of Southport, is the quaint China Town precinct and the newly developed Queen St Plaza. In addition to the Broadwater parklands is the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre right on the Broadwater, which was constructed for the Commonwealth Games and has an Olympic sized pool, fully equipped gym and a licenced restaurant attached overlooking the water. The Broadwater parklands is the Gold Coast’s largest water playground for water sports enthusiasts and families just looking for a day out.
Labrador
Labrador has a mix of the Broadwater beachfront and undulating tree-lines suburbs. Some of Labrador's original 'Queenslander' type homes, new townhouse projects, and up-market high-rise buildings and lodging may be found here.
When Labrador was first developed in the 1950's, it had an abundance of retro-style properties that were recently refurbished by first-time homebuyers; the other half will likely stay there for a few years until savvy home buyers and developers come along and buy them up.
The local schools include AB Paterson a co-educational college and one of the Gold Coasts finest private schools. Labrador Primary School and Coombabah High School also offer your child an excellent education and they are both well established in the local community including sporting events and arts initiatives.

Coomera
Families will love living in Coomera, the Gold Coast's premier theme park neighbourhood. Dream World and White-Water World, as well as Wet 'n' Wild and Warner Bros Movie World, are all in short distance from each other. Adding to the attraction for families, is the indoor sports centre which was constructed as part of the Gold Coast Games' infrastructure.
The region is home to Coomera Anglican College and Foxwell State Secondary College both known for their excellence in academic achievement. For the little ones Coomera State School educates children from prep to year seven.
Coomera appears to be one of the ideal places to live on the Gold Coast due to its focus on families and its targeting to the higher end market through activities like boating and waterfront living.
Biggera
Waters
In Biggera Waters you will see a steady stream of people walking, jogging, or running along the boardwalk; the waterways fill up on the weekends with fishermen and families out for a fun day of water sports like wakeboarding and jet-skiing.
In peak traffic, Biggera Waters is only ten minutes from the CBD, allowing homeowners to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle, yet being close enough to major commercial centres, tourist sites, and the Broadwater.
In the past, the region has been dominated by seniors, but with the opening of Harbour Town Shopping Centre, a younger demographic began to move into the area. Numerous restaurants, coffee shops, and specialty shops may all be found nearby, in addition to parks and accessible waterways. It's hard to go wrong relocating to Biggera Waters, a burgeoning Gold Coast community that appeals to a wide range of potential residents, including retirees as well as those in the younger demographic.
