Upper Coomera, QLD 4209

Upper Coomera is a good option for families who want to live in Gold Coast. There is a Westfield in Coomera so you have most things you could need. But still you need to go into Helensvale or Southport for some things. I found the neighbourhood safe and friendly and a different vibe from Surfers which is pretty ratchet. It' ls still expensive, everywhere is in GC now and too many people have moved here from Victoria and NSW so many locals have has to move elsewhere for lack of housing and it has changed the vibe. Overall I don't recommend Gold Coast in general for families.

I have worked as a real estate agent in Upper Coomera for a number of years and write this review for people not familiar with the suburb.

Upper Coomera is one of the 4 suburbs that make up the 4209 post code and is massive in its own right and it continues to grow in population size every year however it seems to be at a steadier pace these days than the explosive growth happening in Pimpama & Coomera recently.

Located on the western side of the M1 and having benefited by the recent upgrade to the exit 49 on & off ramp it is very accessible and central for getting to either Brisbane or the Gold Coast beaches or Hinterland.

It is made up of a large number of housing estates which includes popular areas such as Coomera Springs, Coomera Retreat, The Landings and Highland Reserve which consist mainly of freestanding homes. In addition there are many townhouse complexes spread throughout the area as well as a healthy mix of duplexes giving new and existing residence a wide range of property types to choose from.

The area has great choice of restaurants, take away outlets, shopping centres, all the major super market retailers and multiple private and public schools available to choose from.

Public transport is accessible and there is a Community Centre with public library and swimming pool and four of the Gold Coast's theme parks & attractions just one suburb away.

HouseShop the young man that works in this shop is excellent in service and customer service great work

Near to shopping. Near to shopping sports activity. Good schools around

Moved here in 2015 from Parkinson in Brisbane to Highland reserve. Lots of nature, amenities such as tennis courts and parks. The area I used to live in backed onto a motorway and became noisier over time. Highland reserve is much quieter but I think it would get more traffic as time goes on. I like having basically as much bushland to walk in within twenty minutes. Having a neighbourhood facebook group is handy. Some weird crime incidents did occur but this has dropped dramatically with 2018 so far. Schools seem really well resourced and there is a lot of space for future development in the suburb overall.

I moved here in 2014, renting then time came to buy, and I drove around the area, only to find, vehicles parked, up grass-vergs, on top of the grass verges, multiple vehicles in one property and many properties with this, and the reasons are: high amounts of renting, very narrow
streets, and so vehicles parked as described above.

Houses and gardens are not in a, 'well-kepted,' state, so I guess the percentage of Home-owner as residents occupant is low.
Therefore, a very high percentage of rentals, was this part of the design-Demographics? to lump as many people/families as close together and they'll be so grateful? just to have a house to buy.
The rent amounts are also a causative because it attracts multiply Tenants, so, hence the volume of vehicles, like a Hamster-and-the-wheel.
I know the stand ed reply is; Oh its urban growth, (sprawl), so I wonder, Who is Urban, and where do they live?
I lost count of the large amounts of child-care centres,
So do I like the area, yes. Do I like the squishiness of the streets by the design of the developers, no.
So Developers must you cram Lots into a street, court, circuit?
It causes neighbour stress.
A flawed system, in Development excessive numbers of Lots per, suburb.
Could you approach your profit with less, aggressive need to yield profits, and perhaps accept that the spreading monopoly of this excessive Lots almost, 'cheek-to-jowl,' is unhealthy, and stingy, and ask yourself: Would I be comfortable living like this?
Summary. These suburbs billowing over with occupants living, 'cheek-to-jowl,' is a failed system, and useless, as the properties values are; if we are honest, also excessively inflated, and all that is happening is more shops are built more, skinny-streets and more small Lots, feeding onto (2) two exit points, 1. 54 Days Rd or Pimpama, or (3) three if one counts Tamborine- Oxenford where this year the bridge collapsed for the third time?, good-grief.
Earlier this year I asked if RiverMeadow Drive U.C.,was okay? as there seems to be a lot of properties for sale? I was told:
Hoons and vehicles parked on the grass-verge and barking dogs.
Well this isn't added to the Real Estate information for sale.

Upper Coomera is close to a few fast food chains, Woolworths and the motor way. It's about an hours drive to the Gold Coast beaches during a buisy weekend. Most of that time is trying to get out of the overdeveloped narrow streets of Coomera. There are no trees, only roof tops as far as you can see.
The only thing to do is to watch TV overlooking your small back yard behind a well locked door.
It's a great spot for investors to rent out to large renting families.
It's a depressing suburb.
You may as well live in Logan.

Upper Coomera has drastically different areas to live in, some are extremely quiet and serene such as Highland Reserve and Reserve Rise with friendly people. We walk every evening after dark and hear nothing more than quiet music and voices if anything. Shopping is a breeze with so many choices within a 10 min drive. The schools are great other than UCSC which has developed a bad reputation. If one leaves for work before 7am there is no problem with traffic, things get a little hectic around school drop off time but that happens everywhere. Basically one should do their research when moving here, every suburb has it's good and bad areas, that's city life.

High breakin area, high crime, high amount of hoons, getting worse every day, the taffic is unbelievable, sometimes it takes 1 hr to get out of suburb

I am living in upper coomera and it's close to everything
