Robina Property Market 2025: Lifestyle, Infrastructure & Long-Term Value
Introduction: Why Robina Remains One of the Gold Coast’s Most In-Demand Suburbs
Robina is one of the Gold Coast’s most successful master-planned communities and continues to grow in popularity in 2025 due to its lifestyle, infrastructure, connectivity, and housing diversity. Developed from the 1980s onwards, Robina has matured into a thriving urban centre that offers:
Easy access to transport, shopping, education, and health services
A wide variety of homes — from lakefront villas to modern townhouses and family homes
A central location with quick access to beaches, hospitals, and the M1
With a population over 25,000, Robina has earned a reputation as a liveable, future-focused suburb suitable for families, professionals, downsizers, and investors alike.
Central Location with Coastal Proximity
One of Robina’s major advantages is its strategic position on the southern Gold Coast. It offers both centrality and connection.
Distance to Major Destinations:
5 mins to Bond University
7 mins to Burleigh Heads Beach
10 mins to Broadbeach and Pacific Fair
12 mins to Gold Coast Airport
Walking distance to Robina Town Centre, train station, stadium and hospitals
Robina's layout and infrastructure support walkability, especially around the Robina Town Centre precinct, and allow residents to live, work, and play within their own suburb.
Lifestyle: Shopping, Health, Education and Sport
Robina is often described as a "complete suburb", and for good reason. Few Gold Coast areas offer this level of integrated services in one location.
