IMAGINE LIVING with these soul-lifting views. The ocean, stretched out to the horizon with vistas sweeping north and south, over the city centre and the hinterland too. The views from 31 Broadbeach looking out over the Pacific Ocean and beyond – from your expansive 3m wide verandah – speak for themselves. As important is the easy access to the beach.

Both rival any other development and none have been designed so carefully with the owner occupier in mind. Broadbeach is the beating heart of the Gold Coast with so many cafés and restaurants a short stroll away. You are literally a step from the beach and then a few more to great coffee, food and wine, and nightlife if so inclined. The living is easy at 31 Broadbeach.
