🏖️ Why Elanora Is Gaining Attention from Coastal Buyers in 2026
🌿 A Quiet Achiever on the Southern Gold Coast
Once considered a hidden gem, Elanora is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand coastal suburbs for buyers chasing lifestyle, space, and value in 2026. With easy access to Palm Beach, Currumbin Creek, and major shopping centres, the suburb appeals to a broad buyer base — from growing families to downsizers and remote-working professionals.
If you own property in Elanora, now could be the ideal time to leverage buyer interest and list with confidence.
