"Nice looking place, but..."
I moved last year from Adelaide without knowing anything about Queensland, so I did not what to expect from Gold Coast. Adelaide has a reputation of a 'big country town', so I expected something bit more exciting. Coomera caught my attention due to all the new developments . The place does look nice and has some very amazing spots for walking, picnics and other outdoorsy activities. The negative is the distance to Broadbeach etc. - it definitely would be good to be closer. And now the real negative - the residents. Despite its aesthetics, I could easily compare Coomera residents to Salisbury and Elizabeth in Adelaide. It is not uncommon to see, in some parts, dumped stolen cars, bogans hooning at roundabouts, or tuning engines in their garages whilst revving them to the max. I do not regret buying my place here since it will be a good investment property, but no way I would stay to live here.
Hi Kyu. You will be in for a shock moving to Commera from Mawson Lakes. The only equivalent I could think of would be Carrara/Emerald Lakes. In general, I'd stay away from GC. Since my comment, I actually moved back to Adelaide. Let me know if you need tips for getting around.
Glad I found this thread, I am also considering moving to the GC and I will definitely cancel out Coomera as a potential residence. Im from Mawson Lakes also and am moving to get away from the bogans of Salisbury/ Elizabeth haha.... looks like these feral people are everywhere!!
Hi Alex, I am also from Adelaide (Port Noarlunga) moving to GC for work at Yatala, I was looking at Coomera and found your post very informative, due you have any thoughts regarding Helensvale ? We are a family with 2 children aged 13 and 11
Hi Alex. Sorry this was your first impression of Queensland. If work isn't a problem there are plenty of beautiful beach towns north of the Gold Coast. One city that I live about 30 minutes away from is Hervey Bay. It's a cheap, growing beach city with everything you need. If you or anyone else wants more information on it, let me know.
I am moving about there from Mawson Lakes, SA soon. That was a good review when you mentioning those areas in SA.
