Coolangatta is Queensland's most
southerly coastal town. Located on the
border, near its twin town of Tweed
Heads, Coolangatta is approximately 100
kilometres south of Brisbane and is the
perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed coastal
lifestyle with the excitement of Surfers
Paradise only 30 minutes away.
The Coolangatta region boasts three
pristine beaches - Coolangatta,
Greenmount and Rainbow Bay. Patrolled by
two surf clubs, these are the Gold
Coast's only north facing beaches and
are popular for swimming and surfing. In
addition, the famous surfing beaches of
Kirra, Snapper and Duranbah are only
minutes away.
Offering safe sandy beaches, access to
major shopping centres and world class
licensed sporting and recreational
clubs, Coolangatta often lures visitors
back permanently.
The astute buyer has a diverse range of
housing to choose from, including luxury
high rise apartments with spectacular
ocean views and older three storey
walk-ups and duplexes. Due to many of
the houses in the area dating back to
the 1960's, the area has seen much in
the way of renovations, extensions and
even demolitions making way for new
dwellings. There have been some newly
constructed high-rise developments,
including Essence, Ocean Blue and
Reflections, which are all taking shape.
Residents have good access to medical
facilities, schools and retiree
services. The area is also well known
for its weekly markets providing
shoppers with an opportunity to purchase
handmade local arts and crafts, a wide
variety of fresh produce and delicious
food.
With the exception of Coolangatta
Primary School, educational requirements
are serviced by neighbouring suburbs.
Local transport to and around
Coolangatta consists mainly of buses or
private motor car, with the nearest rail
service at Robina. Road access to the
north and south is easy, by following
Coolangatta Rd to the Pacific Highway.
Tucked between Coolangatta, Tweed Heads
and Bilinga, Kirra is one of the fastest
growing suburbs on the Gold Coast.
Services and facilities are all nearby
for the convenience of residents and
holidaymakers, including shopping
centres, specialty shops, Coolangatta
Airport and schools.
Kirra is also home to the famous Kirra
Surf Life Saving Club, not to mention
beautiful beaches. Units are a dominant
feature of the Kirra property market,
making this suburb the perfect place to
buy for investment reasons. With
continued redevelopment of existing unit
blocks, it is not surprising to find
that no vacant land remains in Kirra.
Buyers looking to settle in Kirra will
have to opt for one of the many
established units and holiday apartments
on offer, or one of the few houses
available in the area. Among the
qualities which attract buyers to Kirra
are its seaside lifestyle and village
surroundings
