Broadbeach
World-class lifestyle hub — $1.13M median unit price, up 19.2% in 12 months, with 400+ apartment sales a year.
Broadbeach (QLD 4218) is the Gold Coast's premier dining, entertainment and apartment precinct — a walkable beachside grid where The Star, the Gold Coast Convention Centre, Pacific Fair and more than 100 restaurants meet a patrolled surf beach. The unit market is the engine: Cotality data for the 12 months to June 2026 shows a $1.13M median, up 19.2%, across 404 sales at 29 days on market. Two-bedroom apartments achieved a $1.18M median across 282 sales. Population growth tells the demand story: up 23.1% between censuses to 6,786 residents.

Rental Market & Investment
Units rent for a median of $850 per week at gross yields near 4.0%. Liquidity is excellent — roughly 400 unit sales a year — and values have risen 83% in five years. By bedroom, 1-bedroom units median $715,000 and 3-bedroom units $2.08M (Domain, last 12 months).
Demographics & Community
Broadbeach's 6,786 residents (median age 46) are predominantly couples without children — professionals, downsizers and investors — in a precinct where six parks cover 27% of the suburb's compact 1.5km² footprint. About 47% of homes are owner-occupied.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Kurrawa Beach, the Oasis precinct, Pacific Fair, The Star and the Convention Centre are all within a ten-minute walk, and the light rail now continues south from Broadbeach South to Burleigh Heads (opened August 2026). For Brisbane 2032, the Convention Centre is slated for indoor events and Broadbeach Park for a temporary beach volleyball stadium.
Performance Outlook
Unit medians have moved from $445,500 in 2016 to $1.13M in 2026 — about 9.8% a year. New supply is coming at the luxury end, including Sunland's approved 42-storey tower at 101 Old Burleigh Road, but the beach-dining-transit combination keeps Broadbeach the Gold Coast's most resilient apartment market.
