Broadbeach Real Estate Snapshot

Broadbeach was chosen as the site for one of the Gold Coast’s first commercial enterprises Harpers Wharf which was built just north of the present-day Cascade Gardens Reserve. Long before this the Kombumerri people claimed the area as their holiday playground. In the 1920s and 30s the Gold Coast emerged as a popular beach resort and in 1934 a new seaside township by the name of ‘Broadbeach’ was surveyed, with 70 allotments offered for sale. The opening of Lennon’s Hotel in 1956 established Broadbeach as a tourism centre and for more than thirty years, the landmark resort was renowned all over Australia for its international-standard accommodation and world-class entertainment. Some of the Gold Coast\'s most recent architecture can be found here with buildings such as The Wave, Aria Broadbeach, Air on Broadbeach, and The Oracle Broadbeach.
