Robina Prestige Report | Selling Luxury Homes in School Zones
How Education-Focused Buyers Are Driving the Top End of the Market in 2025
Curated by Norton’s Real Estate – Selling Agents for Premium Family Homes in the Gold Coast’s Leading Education Corridors
Robina’s Luxury Market Has Found Its True North: School Zones
Once driven by golf course frontage and retail precincts, Robina’s prestige home market is now steered by a new motivator: education.
High-income families, especially those relocating from interstate or upgrading from within the Gold Coast, are anchoring their property decisions around elite school zones — most notably:
✨ Somerset College
✨ Varsity College (Primary + Secondary)
✨ Robina State High School (Selective Programs)
Buyers aren’t just chasing bedrooms and pools — they’re prioritising school proximity, safety, and lifestyle compatibility.
✨ Who’s Buying Luxury Homes in School Zones?
Buyer Profile | Motivation |
|---|---|
Sydney & Melbourne professionals | Private school access + relocation lifestyle |
International families | Enrolment eligibility for top Queensland schools |
Local upgraders | Improved schooling and home size |
Dual-income executives | Work-from-home + walk-to-campus convenience |
Returning expats | Secure education before re-entry |
These buyers often enter the market pre-approved and timeline-driven by term dates.
What They Expect from a Prestige Family Home
🛏️ 4+ bedrooms — master wing preferred
🛁 2–3 modern bathrooms with stone finishes
🏡 Land size over 600m²
🍽️ Open-plan designer kitchen
🏊 Pool, covered alfresco, and secure yard
🖥️ Study or media room for remote work/study
