High demand and limited supply in Northern Gold Coast drives buyers to Helensvale's Lakeside Serenity Villas
South East Queensland Developers Keylin and Kinstone Group have captured the attention of homebuyers on the northern end of the Gold Coast with their standout waterside masterplan, Lakeside Serenity 4212.
The joint venture partners had a vision for Lakeside Serenity 4212, a 65-hectare masterplan on the shores of Coombabah Lake, to become one of the best waterfront communities in the Gold Coast.
Since the first launch of homes in 2020, there have been consistent stage sellouts, as well as a 2023 UDIA Queensland Award for Excellence in Boutique Development.
Tony Ashwin has been selling the homes in the masterplan since its inception. He says the masterplan fills a void where there is a real scarcity of waterfront land.
“The northern suburbs of the Gold Coast are in extremely high demand,” Ashwin says, highlighting that Helensvale is central to this growth.
“It’s the only Gold Coast suburb with both heavy and light rail connections, offering residents easy access to Brisbane and the rest of the Gold Coast.”
Having sold out the Serenity Waters waterfront lots and the Serenity Green townhouse community, Keylin and Kinstone Group have now released the next stage of development.
The latest offering, Lakeside Serenity 4212 Waterfront Villas, includes just 16 exclusive, absolute waterfront villas. Each villa faces north, providing direct access to the water and a private pontoon, with the Lake Serenity lock system offering direct access to the Broadwater.
Designed by MAS Architecture, the villas feature open-plan living spaces, soaring ceilings, floating staircases, and strategically placed windows that enhance the sense of space while maximizing natural light and uninterrupted lake views.
Each villa has four bedrooms, two living areas, and a double garage. The kitchens serve as the centerpiece, with premium natural stone benchtops, large island benches, butler’s pantries, and integrated Smeg appliances. The master suites feature walk-in robes, freestanding bathtubs, and private balconies overlooking the lake.
Ashwin points out that the Gold Coast’s medium to low-rise market is currently undersupplied, making Lakeside Serenity 4212 Waterfront Villas particularly appealing.
“Serenity meets the demand for high-quality, medium to low-rise homes,” Ashwin says.
There has been significant interest from both local downsizers and Brisbane residents looking for a second home. They are drawn to the excellent connection to Brisbane while wanting to spend the majority of their time on the Coast.
“The link between Brisbane and Helensvale is unrivaled, and it’s a connection that no other suburb can beat,” Ashwin adds.
Additionally, the upcoming Coomera Connector will improve access between the northern suburbs and Broadbeach. The Cross River Rail Project, which will add a new train station in Helensvale (just 8 kilometers from Serenity), will further improve regional accessibility.
Ashwin notes that supply in the northern Gold Coast suburbs will remain tight.
“The Queensland Government’s build program for the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics will limit residential supply, especially in the medium to low-rise markets,” he explains.
Lakeside Serenity 4212 is already an established community with additional developments in the pipeline including a premium, low-rise apartment offering and future retail precinct.
Resort Homes, one of the most reputable builders in the northern Gold Coast, has begun construction on the Lakeside Serenity 4212 Waterfront Villas and expects to complete the project in Q3 this year.
