Anyone who has lived here over the past couple of decades will tell you that the place is changing. I believe that it will take another few years to be able to truly re-evaluate Hope Island as a suburb.
Boykambil is now a (Soon to be) thriving mini-metropolis.
North Point is almost finished, Cova too.
With new Marketplaces, new and increased numbers of residences and residents pouring in from everywhere... Hope Island 2020 is a new animal... We have to learn how friendly it is going to be.

One stagnating corner, Sanctuary Cove, is still being choked by overly expensive Body Corporate fees.
I have read the vehement arguments against Covian Criticism by residents on this website....WOW!

Not everyone is jealous of you fellows, not everyone wants to live near you (If your defensive attitude is anything to go by). Just accept that even wealthy people are not always interested in an expensive home with zero capital gains, spiteful neighbors whose sole social metric is financial and a body corporate system that is primarily interested in alleviating residents of their cash.

With the COVID influx to the Gold Coast from Southern residents, I truly hope that even Sanctuary Cove will see a change of face. It could sure do with it!

In closing.
With the one notable exclusion of Sanctuary Cove, Hope Island is absolutely fantastic on so many levels. The future is bright, I believe, and with the Coomera Connector and extra Railway Stations soon to be built (Opening the Brisbane Corridor even wider) , it's even brighter.
