traffic, healthier living, access to world renowned natural landscapes and the list goes on. There is much to say about the benefits of living on our Scenic Roads.
Drew Slack-Smith Principal | Scenic Road Properties LREA From the humble beach shack to the impossible mountaintop masterpiece, the allure of the hinterland and the great outdoors is the same for one and all. The beautiful yet sometimes brutal romance of the environment and the warm loving nature of the communities, large and small, offer families and investors some of the best working and lifestyle choices on offer throughout Australia. Property prices in every capital city across Australia have risen sharply over the course of 2020/2021 and regional markets have certainly kept pace and in some instances outperformed their city cousins. The Gold Coast hinterland and the Scenic Rim are two such examples. For many reasons, the choice to make the change from city life to a hinterland lifestyle has been made easy for families. Getting back to nature offers undeniable health benefits, both physical and mental. Enjoy a better work life balance, a local community where everyone say’s hi, more property for your hard earned dollars, great services, schools, produce, no
