Broadwater

Taking up a prime spot along the sought-after stretches of the Goldie, La Isla Broadwater is the latest residential offering to hit the list of developments buyers can move into now.&nbsp;

The brand new apartments were completed just recently by Draycon, with the project highlighted as a prosperous opportunity for occupiers or investors, nestled at the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and Broadwater in Southport.&nbsp;

With views over the Gold Coast Broadwater, the Pacific Ocean and the speckled greenery of suburban Southport, La Isla draws parallels to the laid-back and breezy atmospheres of European coastal towns.

Delivering a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, some of the configurations offer dual-key apartments that comprise one and two bedroom floorplans, with a separate studio apartment attached - perfect for investors where they can live in one and rent the other out, or rent both out.

Designed by the architects at Burling Brown, the residences follow an open plan layout, with the kitchen, living and dining all flowing seamlessly to adjoining balconies, which marvel in views and invite an abundance of natural light in.&nbsp;

Within La Isla’s walls, the residences feature a muted palette, calacatta look porcelain benchtops and splashbacks, brass and gold finishes, parquetry look porcelain tile and premium Italian furnishings. Ducted cooling and heating also features throughout, along with integrated appliances in the kitchens, tile flooring in the main living zones, and carpet in the bedrooms. &nbsp;

A suite of resort-style amenities find a home in La Isla, including a rooftop terrace, complete with an infinity pool and spa, as well as several breakout and lounge spaces. A rooftop bar is also penned for the space, set to make a home crowning La Isla in the coming months.&nbsp;

An onsite cafe is also set to take up shop across the ground floor in the lobby soon, with everyday conveniences not stopping there as the light rail system stops just across the road.

During the week, rely on the efficiency of the Gold Coast light rail as it passes by, and stops at Griffith University, Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast Private Hospital and a plethora of business centres. Seamless access to the motorway and Gold Coast highway ensure Brisbane, Byron Bay and all corners of the Goldie are within reach too.&nbsp;

La Isla's central location places residents just minutes from Broadwater Parklands, along with the Southport CBD and the stretches of cafes, restaurants and bars that line the streets of the nearby Tedder Avenue. From early learning to tertiary studies, the locale’s premier educational institutions are also within close proximity from the site too.&nbsp;

Tom Williams has left Channel 7 where he was the co-host of The Daily Edition and joined project marketing company Boutique Estates International.
His first job for Boutique Estates, where his sister in law Vanessa Gilbert is a director, is to help market <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/project/inspire-broadwater-labrador-600023618" target="_blank">Inspire Broadwater, the new Labrador tower</a> on the Gold Coast (above and below).
The 12 level, 79 apartment building which is slated for completed in mid-2020, is set to replace landmark restaurant Cav’s Steakhouse along with a retail and commercial area.
Williams said 34 apartments had sold or were on hold to prospective buyers.

“We’ve been called in to reach deeper into the Gold Coast market and also to try to get some of that Sydney market that is looking to invest on the Gold Coast,” Williams told the Gold Coast Bulletin.
“I try to come up once a fortnight to meet with the sales team here in the display suite.
“We’re really reaching out this holiday season — we know things get very quiet in the major cities but the team will be right behind holiday makers on the Coast.”

Williams was a long-time presenter for the Seven Sport team, having made his break in media when he phoned into a radio show hosted by comic duo Merrick &amp; Rosso in 2000.
They gave him a regular segment on the show. A year later he became the host of The Great Outdoors.

Broadwater in Western Australia's Busselton figured on CoreLogic's 2016 top 10 list for units that showed the biggest 12-month change. 
Even though the list was dominated by Sydney suburbs, Broadwater (postcode 6280) squeezed into the list at number nine with a median unit value $282,755 and percentage change of 22.6 percent, according to CoreLogic's Best of the Best 2016 report that lists the top suburbs in various categories. 
Hunters Hill topped the list with a median value change of 45.8 percent over 12 months and a median value of $1.16 million. 
The report's data was for the 12 months up to September 2016. 
Broadwater reported just the 12 unit sales in the period. The suburb's dwelling composition included <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/12217-broadwater-wa" target="_blank">3 percent units</a>, according to ABS Census 2011 data.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/images/2017/01/11/Screen%20Shot%202017-01-11%20at%209.40.46%20AM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

We found the units that fetched the maximum and minimum prices in 2016 from RP Data. 
The highest sale we found on RP Data in 2016 was a five-bedroom unit at 18/605 Bussell Highway Broadwater, WA, 6280 which sold in November 2016 for $1.45 million. There was a multi-sale previously in 2014 for $13,194,093, according to RP Data.

The minimum selling price for a unit which we found on RP Data was a one-bedroom unit at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-wa-broadwater-116656127" target="_blank">57/11 Holgate Road Broadwater, WA, 6280</a> that changed hands for $70,000 in August 2016 through Harcourts Busselton.

We also looked up some sales around the median price with sales history, but found very few in 2016 in that range.
A three-bedroom unit at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-unit-wa-broadwater-122124094" target="_blank">39/14 Little Colin Street Broadwater, WA, 6280</a> sold for $225,000 in August 2016. It was on the market for 156 days with a last listed price of $280,000. The unit previously changed hands in 2005 for $147,400, according to RP Data. This works out to an annual change in value of about 3.9 percent.
