Hope Island (QLD 4212) is the northern Gold Coast's premier resort address, built around Sanctuary Cove, the Hope Island Resort and Links Hope Island golf courses and master-planned gated communities. Cotality data for the 12 months to June 2026 shows a median house price of $1.92M (+2.3%) across 296 sales, while units rose 11.5% to $975,500 across 283 sales as downsizers compete for low-maintenance waterfront stock.

Rental Market & Investment
Houses rent for a median of $1,400 per week (3.7% gross yield) and units $885 per week (4.5%). The investment case is capital-growth led: house values have nearly tripled since 2016, and tightly held golf and marina precincts attract interstate and international buyers.
Demographics & Community
Hope Island is home to 14,522 residents with a median age of 50 and a median household income of $1,934 per week. About 70% of homes are owner-occupied — a settled, security-conscious community of golfers, boaties and downsizers.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Two championship golf courses, the Hope Island Marina and shopping village, Sanctuary Cove's marina village, gated communities with 24-hour patrols and direct Broadwater access by boat. Westfield Coomera and the M1 are minutes away, and the first section of the Coomera Connector (opened December 2025) is easing the run south.
Performance Outlook
From $644,000 in 2016 to $1.92M in 2026, house values have compounded at about 11.5% a year. Growth has eased to 2.3% over the past year, with homes taking around 62 days to sell, while units have taken the lead — the long-term drivers of marina access, golf-course scarcity and northern Gold Coast growth remain intact.
