SOUTHPORT QLD, A GREAT PLACE TO INVEST

Southport is a suburb in the Gold Coast Region of Queensland, with many locals referring to Southport as the CBD of the Gold Coast. Southport has a population of 31,907 people and 46.12% of its occupants live in rental accommodation. The median listing price for houses is $620,000 and this has changed 0.16% over the past year and 3.50% over two years.

N ew construction and redevel- opment is good for investment purposes, and Southport has plenty. Public transport is exceptional, you can get a bus just about anywhere on the coast from Southport. Education facilities are also great with a good mix and choice of public and private schools for children. There are currently 69 new property developments underway in Southport. Three of the major apartment blocks Allegra, Regatta and Sundale have all sold out. Savvy investors have taken to the market to purchase a piece of paradise in the sunny state. With above average rental yield returns, investors from abroad, local or interstate are snapping up apartments, homes and townhouses to add to their portfolios. The growth in the area is

to locals in the suburbs of Ashmore, Labrador, Molendinar, Gaven, Arundel and as far as Helensvale. I would like to take this time to thank Centre Manager Bol Kon (pictured above), Assistant Manager Catherine Bradley and TSM Wayne Bolye, you all worked so hard to get your new centre ready for opening and it looks amazing. Since opening on September 29th the Team have been busy wowing the people of the Gold Coast with their great customer interactions, seriously worth checking out their Google Reviews! Congratulations Team on a great centre opening and thanks to the Baudinet family for the great location. Happy Renting!

also a result of empty nesters choosing to sell their family homes and downsize into new modern apartments at the fraction of the cost, utilising the equity in their current homes. With all this said, it was little wonder the Precinct Group owned by the Baudinet family chose this great location for Queensland’s 17th centre, making it our 95th Orange Beacon of Freedom for Kennards. With our famous orange and blue, we cannot be missed in Southport. We are the new centre piece of the CBD! As you would expect of any new Kennards centre we have all the locals covered when it comes to storage. Offering 6,700 square metres of rentable space over five levels including undercover loading and unloading for all our customers. The state-of-the- art purpose-built storage facility caters
