Welcome to Gold Coast Guides
Your local guide to living on the Gold Coast. Honest suburb reviews, livability insights, and property advice.
Welcome to Gold Coast Guides
If you're researching where to live on the Gold Coast, you've probably noticed something.
Most of the information out there is either:
- Real estate listings trying to sell you something
- Generic articles written by people who've never been here
- Outdated forum posts from 2015
That's not helpful when you're trying to make one of the biggest decisions of your life.
What This Site Is About
Gold Coast Guides is different. I actually live here. I've spent years exploring different suburbs, talking to locals, and figuring out what makes each area tick.
This site is where I share that knowledge — the honest pros and cons that you won't find in a real estate brochure.
What You'll Find Here
- Suburb guides — In-depth looks at specific areas
- Comparison posts — Head-to-head breakdowns when you're torn between options
- Buyer education — Practical info for navigating the QLD property market
- Local insights — The stuff only locals know
Coming Soon
I'm working on guides for some of the most popular suburbs:
- Burleigh Heads
- Broadbeach
- Mermaid Beach
- Palm Beach
- Coolangatta
Stay tuned, and feel free to sign up for the newsletter to get notified when new guides drop.
Keep exploring
