FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

Land of opportunity at Tweed Heads West

By Jo Kennett

TWEED HEADS West used to have a bit of a westie reputation and prices to match, which is kind of crazy when you consider how close it is to lots of really good stuff.

It’s bounded by the Queensland border to the north, the Pacific Highway in the east, Terranora Creek and Bilambil Heights in the south, and Cobaki Creek, the Cobaki Broadwater and Cobaki Lakes in the west.

So basically, for a western suburb, it’s a far cry from Mount Druitt, because it’s surrounded by nature and water and a short

drive to some of the loveliest beaches on the Gold and Tweed Coast, as well as all the restaurants, cafes and shopping you could want.

Years ago a family member had a new house here in a new estate and it was all very well, new back then, but Tweed Heads West has well and truly grown up and grown into its own now.

The smart money started moving into the suburb a while back because there are so many lovely homes either on the water, looking over the water, or a stone’s throw to some sort of water.

Just like the Penrith Panthers, Tweed Heads West has been on a winning streak for the last couple of years, but it still has plenty of opportunity for buyers, with most real estate here cheaper than just about anywhere in the shire.

Last month Tweed Heads West had 20 properties available for rent and 59 properties for sale.

Median property prices over the last year range from $900,500 for houses to $458,500 for units.

It’s a five-minute drive to Kirra Beach and two minutes to the M1 if you are heading out to work or want to escape south on the weekend like everyone up that way seems to.

This is a happening market, with 13 three-bedroom houses for sale in the last month and 32 sold in the last year.

If you are coming in at the entry level, there were 17 two-bedroom units available in the last month, so there’s plenty of opportunity
