Nerang 2025: Underrated, Affordable, and Full of Possibility

(Format: Storytelling from Buyer Perspective + Renovation Focus)

When Liam and Casey moved up from Sydney, they skipped Surfers, Robina, and Coomera — and landed in Nerang. What they found was a pocket of the Gold Coast still offering real opportunity.

Their Purchase Story

• Price: $755,000

• 3-bed, 1-bath brick home on 700m²

• Renovated kitchen, added deck + solar for $38,000

• Current market value: $925,000 (18 months later)

Nerang allowed them to enter the market affordably and build value without overcapitalising. And they’re not alone.
