Coombabah: The Suburb That Surprised Us

Coombabah: The Suburb That Surprised Us

When Dan and Belinda moved to Coombabah in 2021, they thought it would be a short-term stay. Four years later, they’ve bought their second investment property — on the same street.

Why They Stayed

• Quiet, tree-lined streets

• Good schools

• Nature trails + water access

• Friendly neighbours and low crime

Investment Tips from Dan

• Focus on duplex-potential blocks — "corner sites are gold"

• Long-term tenants pay more for privacy

• "Granny flat approvals here are smoother than in high-density zones"

Agent Note

Coombabah attracts families and long-term renters. It’s an excellent choice for portfolio stability, not volatility.
