Carrara: Central Gold Coast’s Pocket of Possibility

Carrara: Central Gold Coast’s Pocket of Possibility

Carrara continues to surprise buyers with its quiet confidence. Tucked between Broadbeach, Nerang, and Robina, this suburb delivers location, lifestyle, and land—without the prestige pricing.

Why Carrara Keeps Outperforming

• Centrally located: 10–15 mins to beach, M1, or hinterland

• Golf course frontage homes with capital growth upside

• Mixed property types: townhouses, duplexes, older brick homes, and new builds

• Generous blocks still common: 650m²+ is standard

What Buyers Are Targeting in 2025:

1. Split-level homes with internal reno potential

2. Townhouses in gated estates (especially near Gooding Drive)

3. Golf-side villas in Palm Meadows + Emerald Lakes

4. Dual-lot sites suitable for knockdown or rebuild

5. Commercial leases in arterial zones for medical/retail

Pro Tip from Norton’s:
Check zoning along Elysium Road and Manchester Road – many homes sit within emerging community overlays ideal for small developers.

Disclaimer: Local overlays and development codes should always be confirmed with Gold Coast City Council before any subdivision or dual occupancy.
