Ashmore
is located about nine kilometres from
Surfers Paradise and has become one of
the most diverse residential suburbs of
the Gold Coast, offering everything from
acreage homes to villas. Ashmore's
central location, between Southport and
Benowa, offers local residents quick and
easy access to the Gold Coast's beaches,
the CBD, the Pacific Motorway and the
rail link.
A feature of the area is its undulating
hills that allow some of the homes good
views to Surfers; the hinterland; and
even Royal Pines Golf Course. The suburb
boasts tree-lined streets, a variety of
architecture, proximity to shopping
centres and schools, and a diversity of
lifestyles.
Ashmore was developed in the early '70s
and '80s to meet the demand for
traditional quarter acre residential
homes of that era. Since then Ashmore
has come to offer acreage homes, quarter
acre homes, zero lot line homes, villas,
townhouses as well as deluxe resort
style housing at The Royal Pines Estate.
The most prominent lifestyle in the area
is that of the family, with seven
schools located in the vicinity. Among
them are Ashmore and Bellevue Park State
Primary, Trinity Lutheran Primary,
Keebra State High and Aquinas Catholic
College. The family orientated lifestyle
is balanced with a solid retiree
population. There are three
retirement/aged care facilities in the
area including: the Ashmore Lodge,
Domain Retirement Country Club and Amity
Gardens.
Adding to Ashmore's attraction is its
proximity to Ashmore Plaza and the
Ashmore City Shopping Complex. Centrally
located, it is a five-minute drive to
Australia Fair Shopping Centre and the
Centro Southport shopping complex. Over
the years, Ashmore has been a solid
performer in terms of price growth and
popularity.
This trend is expected to be further
strengthened by the continued interstate
migration of families from the Southern
States who are looking for a more
affordable lifestyle, which Ashmore can
offer. For these reasons, this
suburb has long been popular with
investors, giving it a good supply of
rental property
