Why Is Coomera One of Queensland’s Fastest-Growing Residential Markets?

Why Is Coomera One of Queensland’s Fastest-Growing Residential Markets?

Coomera has gone from rural outer fringe to masterplanned powerhouse over the last decade — driven by:

• The opening of Westfield Coomera

• Expansion of primary and secondary schools

• Development of Coomera Connector (Second M1)

• Designation as a key infill and growth corridor by the QLD Government

In 2025, Coomera is home to a young, upwardly mobile population and remains a favourite among first-home buyers, family upsizers, and investors chasing yield with capital growth potential.

1. ✅ Lock in finance early — especially for house + land

2. ✅ Prioritise north-facing backyards for resale

3. ✅ Secure corner blocks for future dual-living potential

4. ✅ Avoid overbuilt micro-estates with 20+ homes per street
