Liveability a Prerequisite for Gold Coast Home Buyers

The liveability of a community has become a non-negotiable for Gold Coast home buyers, with connectivity, green open spaces, and a sense of community being reported as top buyer priorities.

Award-winning developer AVID Property Group (AVID) has observed this trend in its Ormeau community, Amara – perfectly located in between the heart of the Gold Coast and Brisbane – where 40 per cent of the masterplan has been dedicated to green open space.

AVID General Manager Queensland Anthony Demiris said home buyers were drawn to communities with an increased emphasis on liveability to improve their quality of life.

“Across our South East Queensland networks, we are noticing access to parks and local amenities are becoming deciding factors for buyers in addition to safety and security,” Mr Demiris said.

“Purchasers are now considering their personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of the natural environment when choosing the design of their home and the neighbourhood in which they live.”

Located within one of only 36 biodiverse hot spots across the world, the Gold Coast has an abundance of green space with more than 50 per cent of land made up of native vegetation¹.

In addition, more than half (57 per cent) of people on the Gold Coast live within 400m of one and a half hectares of public open space².

“The Amara community is an active, vibrant and socially sustaining neighbourhood with dedicated spaces that will become natural meeting points,” Mr Demiris said.

“The central park is the cornerstone of the community, leaving every resident in walking distance to a park where they can meet their neighbours, exercise, play and make memories.

“Creating greener communities extends across our network of Queensland projects, cementing our goal of facilitating connections, fostering relationships, and cultivating a sense of ownership and pride amongst residents.”

AVID’s Amara community revolves around spaces that foster socialising and creativity amongst residents to attract visitors and increase property values.

“By prioritising the liveability of our masterplan and putting our residents at the heart of our planning, we have cultivated a community that is attractive to buyers wanting a home in a neighbourhood where they can lay down roots and grow together with their neighbours.

The next release will be launching to market on Tuesday 12 November. For more information and how to register, visit: amara.avid.com.au.
