World-class lifestyle hub — 2BR unit median $1.14M, 296 sales in 12 months, 52% auction clearance.
Broadbeach (QLD 4218) is the Gold Coast's premier dining, entertainment and apartment precinct — a walkable beachside grid where The Star casino, the Gold Coast Convention Centre, Pacific Fair and more than 100 restaurants meet a patrolled surf beach. The unit market is the engine: a median around $1.04M, up 10.1% over the past year, across roughly 394 sales at 28 days on market. Two-bedroom apartments achieved a median near $1.14M with 296 sales and a 52% auction clearance rate. Population growth tells the demand story: up 23.1% between censuses to 6,786 residents.
Rental Market & Investment
Units rent for a median of around $835 per week at gross yields near 4% — with the short-stay market adding further upside in one of Australia's most visited precincts. Liquidity is excellent: roughly 400 unit sales a year.

Broadbeach's 6,786 residents are predominantly couples without children — professionals, downsizers and investors drawn to a precinct where six parks cover 27% of the suburb's compact 1.5km² footprint.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Kurrawa Beach, the Oasis precinct, Pacific Fair's 400+ stores, The Star casino, the Convention Centre and two G:link stations — everything is within a ten-minute walk. The new-tower pipeline continues to lift the luxury end of the skyline.
Performance Outlook
