Why investors love Pimpama
Northern Gold Coast growth corridor with some of the strongest population growth in Australia over the past decade, now recognised as one of the country’s fastest-growing suburbs
More attainable price point than coastal suburbs, while still benefiting from the broader Gold Coast story, which appeals to first home buyers and renters and supports demand
A high proportion of renters creates consistent tenant demand for well-located family homes and townhouses, with yields typically stronger than inner beachside markets
Access to jobs, schools and shopping via the M1, new Pimpama train station and nearby Coomera Town Centre, giving a mix of car and rail connectivity between Brisbane and the Gold Coast
Significant public investment in community infrastructure, such as the Pimpama Sports Hub, plus new schools and the Coomera Connector transport corridor, underpins long term liveability and growth
Development Snapshot
Masterplanned communities such as Gainsborough Greens, Pacific Cove and surrounding estates provide a steady pipeline of new house and land product with a strong emphasis on parks and green space
New schools, childcare centres, and town centres continue to roll out across the Pimpama and Coomera catchment, responding to rapid population growth and a very young demographic profile
Transport upgrades on the M1 and the staged delivery of the Coomera Connector and new train station improve regional connectivity, but also make it important to consider road noise, future interchanges and traffic patterns at a micro level for each purchase
Investor Insight
Pimpama is a classic growth corridor market, driven by population inflows, new housing estates, and improving infrastructure rather than by land scarcity. The opportunity for investors is to buy into a quality, family-friendly product that will remain desirable as the suburb matures, rather than simply chasing the cheapest house and land package on offer. With around sixty per cent of dwellings rented, tenant demand is deep, but it also means you need to pay close attention to street appeal, nearby amenities, and estate reputation to stand out in a competitive rental pool.
Key risks to manage include construction quality and builder reputation for newer homes and townhouses, small lot layouts, proximity to major roads or future interchanges, and any flood or overland flow considerations near creeks and the Pimpama River. Body corporate fees and bylaws on townhouse complexes, rental caps in some developments, and ongoing estate charges should be reviewed carefully, as these can materially affect net yield. For investors willing to do the work on due diligence, Pimpama can offer a balance of modern, low-maintenance housing, solid gross yields and ongoing infrastructure-led growth.
Top Performing Pockets
Golf course and park front homes in and around Gainsborough Greens and similar master-planned estates, where green outlook and community facilities support both resale and rental appeal
Family homes within easy reach of the Pimpama Sports Hub, new and established schools and local shopping, but away from direct motorway and major arterial noise
Well-designed townhouse complexes on quieter internal streets with good on-site parking and reasonable body corporate fees, where modern layouts and low maintenance appeal to young families and professionals who commute by car or train
