I moved up to the Gold Coast from Sydney and we rented in Varsity Lakes for about 2.5 years before purchasing our Island Home on Azzurra Island in Varsity Lakes. In both locations we enjoyed beautiful water views, lush green Palm Trees and gardens and access to an amazing bike/walking track that goes all the way around the lake. The lifestyle is fantastic for young families, plenty of parks, great coffee shops and friendly neighbours. We are only a 5 minute drive to Robina Town Centre which is a fab shopping centre with great restaurants. We are a 6 to 8 minute drive to Burleigh Beach and all of the amazing bars, cafes, shops and coastal restaurants in Burleigh.
Varsity Lakes is very peaceful for the most part, you wake up to the birds and go to sleep with the crickets. At times you do hear a few hoons in cars at night but it seems to be off in the distance. If you like to socialise with your neighbours and have drinks on the driveway while your kids play together this is definitely a popular Friday night activity or if you choose to have a few friends over and socialise in your own home there are never any complaints. Most people in Varsity are happy to live their lives and do their thing and let everyone else do the same.
The schools in the area are fantastic, there is alot of choice and access to schools outside the area if you find others that suit better through excellence programs via application. All in all a great area, great people and great lifestyle.
