Broadbeach 2025: The Gold Coast’s Most Complete Real Estate Market?

Broadbeach has grown into the most balanced and diverse property zone on the Gold Coast. It’s now the city’s most developed mixed-use suburb — blending luxury residential towers, dining, retail, office precincts, and beachside parkland.

Residential Market Trends

Buyers want:

• North-facing apartments in lifestyle towers

• Dual-key units for flexible investment returns

• Secure buildings with gym/pool/concierge

Developments like Oracle, Elysian, and The Wave continue to set record prices.

Commercial Real Estate

Retail streets like Surf Parade and Oracle Boulevard attract:

• Medical tenants (skin, dental, cosmetic)

• Cafés + boutique hospitality

• Small law and accountancy practices

Office strata spaces are achieving $7,000–$8,500/m², outperforming many inner-city Brisbane equivalents.

Liveability & Local Highlights

• Light rail to Surfers + Broadbeach South

• Pacific Fair Shopping Centre

• Kurrawa Park & beachfront markets

• Broadbeach Convention Centre

Investment Strategy

Investors prefer:

• Permanent-rental apartments over hotel pool stock

• Dual-key units for Airbnb flexibility

• Off-the-plan purchases in well-managed, low-outgoings towers

Key Buying Risks

• High strata levies (some over $12,000/year)

• Management rights affecting owner access

• Body corp conflicts in multi-use towers

Norton’s Strategy Tip

“Buy in buildings that are under 10 years old, have lift upgrades, and allow flexible letting. Avoid anything with unresolved defects or poor governance.”
