Carrara, QLD 4211

Helping buyers and honwners discover just how great a community Carrara is for families, young professionals or first home buyers.

Great for family’s but not much to do. A handful of shops and restaurants. I feel there is better options for this price point and proximity to the beaches on the GC.

Family friendly, quiet, great schools, great golf and only 10 mins to major shopping at Pacific Fair or Robina Town Centre. Could do with some local night spots and there isn’t much public transport but a pretty, green and fabulous affordable suburb

Its a nice hilly viewy green leafy quite suburb and has that upmarket feel. people are friendly but the Pacific Hwy is noisy and the Trains are noisy if you live nearby but there is not many trains going pass. It has its local small shops and a doctor, chemist etc. It is 7 minutes to Nerang Shopping Centre and Malls which Carrara does not have a Super Market. It has a Golf and Tennis club and its 25-30 minutes to the beach it can be 20 minutes but I include parking the car which can be hard in the City of Gold Coast. Its also close to Ashmore shops and industrial district, The Tradesman in the City of the Gold Coast have a touchy personality maybe because they are a bit wealthy and get lazy and want to constantly go to the beach and relax or go surfing or they are in stiff competition with other tradesmen or the work is not big enough and can refuse to get back to you with a quote or walk off the job but want payment for the part job they have done for you so I prefer to employ a local tradesman from Carrara who is a local and does not want to get a bad name.

Home of Metricon Stadium, and also a new Sports Precinct is being developed for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Access to Nerang-Broadbeach Road which will take you straight to Broadbeach and Broadbeach Waters. Minutes to the M1, plenty of shops located in nearby suburb Nerang and the M1 will take you either up to Westfield Helensvale, or further south to Robina Town Centre - Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is also a short drive. The Nerang Train Station is no more than 10 minutes away, and lots of access to bus stops.
There are also plenty of schools - Worongary State Primary, Emmanual College, All Saints Anglican, Merrimac Primary & High School.
Great for families, great for everyone!

Carrara is a nice leafy suburb that is suited to people that do not want to live right in the hustle and bustle of the Gold Coast, however, still have adequate access to these areas. This is a friendly neighborhood including people of all ages. It is a nice ares to go for walks and bring the dog along. Most of the property in this area is of good standards and residents gardens are well maintained. Carrara is within very close proximity to the M1 Motorway for the purpose of travelling North and South, although traffic noise on the motorway can be very noisy if you live on one of the nearby streets. I have noticed in the particular street that I live in, a lot of the residents have particularly loud cars and they happen to drive ridiculously fast which creates a lot of unnecessary noise. Depending on which part of Carrara you live, It can be a long distance to amenities i.e. petrol stations and supermarkets, although Nerang and Broadbeach are not too far away. Carrara overall is a nice suburb and there is a very strong neighborly spirit in the area making this a friendly and welcoming suburb.

This area is surrounded with all the Gold Coast has to offer. It is close to public transport, the M1, great shopping, good parks for the families or couples and the older to stroll through.
Broachbeach is just down the road with the complete the needs of us GC residents.

I have recently moved to Carrara, and in the 1st month was amazed at its great spirit. Neighbors are extremely friendly and helpful. I lost my cat in the 2nd month and everyone was so very concerned, due to a great neighborhood i got my kitten back!!

I would highly recommend this neighbourhood

We've had 2 break-ins last year alone. It's really not that safe. Perhaps it's due to the mixed income in the neighbourhood.

Around 15mins to Robina, Surfers, Southport or Broadbeach! Also very close to shops, transport and schools :)
