Surfers Paradise is different from most cities in the world because the majority of options available are for 1st Home Buyers, Investors and Families, it's always been that way. Try and find a decently-priced three bedroom apartment near the beach in any other city in the country and you'll have an awfully hard time, but because Surfers Paradise has always been Australia's favourite family & holiday destination, it's absolutely full of 1,2 & 3 bedroom self-contained apartments for either Sale or Rent.
