"Relaxing and quiet vibes"

It is a peaceful and picturesque suburb with stunning waterfront views, beautiful parks for families to have a picnic, swim and something to eat along the esplenade. Morning walks are very calm and full of friendly locals.

"Safe, Friendly, Beautiful..."

We've lived here for about 18 months now, and we love it. We walk down the road along the beach, or over the Sovereign Island bridge for coffee and brunch on days off. On hot days we ride our bikes to the netted swimming enclosure, or swim in our pool.

We have an older house. There are lots of them. They all have beautiful timber floorboards just waiting to be polished up (under that nasty carpet). There are many quite inexpensive units too. Or you can live just over the little bridges On Sovereign or Ephraim Islands. They both have quite pricey, large, modern houses and units with amazing views. Personally I love this side of the bridge.

The shops have most things you'd need, and they are open longer hours than the shopping centers etc

"Ephriam island jewel"

Ephriam island is a stand alone island with no through traffic. This also applies to paradise point shopping district which can be difficult to park but the area has everything you need. The board water is on the doorstep which is great for boaties. I lived at hope island prior and it took an hour to get out of the river. The facilities at ephriam are awesome and folks great. When I get home from Brisbane I am transported to another place. No road noise is bliss just waves lapping and birds singing. A great place to live.

"Glad I rented and not bought"

When we arrived from England Sovereign Islands seemed the ideal location with its pristine streets and impressive houses, but I am so glad we rented and did not buy for a number of reasons. After living there a while it started to remind me of the TV series THE PRISONER where you could go for days without seeing anyone. I later realised half the houses seemed to be empty for most of the time and the other half seemed to be for Sale. I dont think I Have seen any capital growth on Sovereign Islands sinceI have been on the Coast since 2003. Renting and not buying saved me a packet.Could not wait to get out of there as the school trip took nearly ninety minutes TWICE per day. Eventualy bought in Benowa which is much better. Wanted to be in Sorrento but could not afford it at the time.

If you couldn't afford to buy at Sorrento, Sovereign Island would be out of the question.Anyhow, Paradise Point isn't only about Sovereign Island.The "Duck Streets are on a small peninsular and are bordered by the boat harbour and the broadwater and the life-style there is second to none!!

Yep, go and purchase in a high-crime suburb close to night clubs and party goers. I love Paradise Point and wouldn't live any where else. It's a shame that so much has changed since you posted in 2011 and it's a wonderful family suburb with everything that one could ask for and more

RussellM

Thanks for the positive things said about paradise point. Me, my wife and daughter are staying for seven weeks in mid September onwards with a view to moving there permanently. We were a little nervous but most of the things people are saying have reassured us and we can't wait to get to know the place.

"Its Home"

When we first arrived in the Gold Coast we didn't know a good area to a bad. We rented and drove around….a lot. But we found Paradise Point, and we couldn’t be happier. Friendly, safe and great parks. Houses are expensive but remember the 3 rules to real estate….Location Location Location.

"A heavenly place to live"

Paradise Point is my new waterfront home and I love it. I couldn't find a better place to enjoy all my favourite things to do: walking on the beach, boating, dining, picnic in the park, riding my bike, swimming, breakfast with friends on the waterfront ... list goes on.

I'm excited about the new waterfront dining precinct about to open in Salacia Waters toward the end of 2010, and if it's possible, I'm even more excited about the beautiful new display apartments now open by appointment in my namesake... Salacia Waters.

Simply Devine!

"The demographic is changing, with more and more families moving in"

Mark MacCabe says "20 years ago, Paradise Point was known as 'Parasite Point', my how things have changed".

My wife has lived here for more than 20 years, and when we bought our first home here, back in 2000, you were hard pressed to find another young family. But now, they are everywhere. In 2000, the Paradise Point Uniting Church was full of pensioners, now it is a vibrant hive with a mixture of young families through to retirees. The really great thing about living here, is that it still feels like a village. It is not a thoroughfare. You don't drive through Paradise Point to get anywhere. The parks are outstanding. You feel really proud on those days of celebration like New Years, or Mothers Day, when the place is packed, and you realise that people come from miles away to be where you live every day.

The restaurants are magnificent. Very good value, and very good quality. The local convenience store is good value with an outstanding range, and open till 7pm each night. We love walking from the harbour around and down the esplanade, then get our fruit and food for the kids lunches, then home. Every morning. Magnificent. When it is time to go anywhere, we are only minutes to the M1, then quick access to everything.

Come and visit Paradise Point - you will never want to leave.

"Dream Island"

Very impressed with the quality of housing and the beautiful views of the Broadwater. As the developers land is coming to an end i can see a bright future for this area.
New houses under construction and soon the island will be filled with quality family homes.

What more can you tell us? It looks like a lovely place!

elli

We are moving to the Gold Coast next year and are deciding whether to buy at Runaway Bay, Paradise Point or Hope Island. We like the 'village' atmosphere of Paradise Point and it is the front-runner at this stage, however you get much more bang for your buck at Hope Island with it's newer homes (we're only there for a couple of years and are buying at entry level which only buys older homes in Paradise Point)

Realdeal

Yes, but once behind those bars at Hope Island it's hard to sell and move. At Paradise Point it has a fantastic community feel even with its own Facebook page promoting community activities.

Realdeal

Forgot to mention.... how's those sand flies eating you at Hope Island, we get none here.
