The Northern Rivers region of New South Wales ticks all the boxes. Home to stunning isolated beaches, ancient lush rainforests, and charming coastal towns, all within close proximity to major hubs in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, it’s no wonder that Northern Rivers property for sale is such a magnet for travellers and aspiring residents alike. Depending on the type of lifestyle you’re after, each of the suburbs in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales has something to offer, and it’s essential that all parts are considered if you’re looking to purchase Northern Rivers property, not just the most popular locations such as Byron Bay and Tweed Heads.
We’ll be exploring Northern Rivers suburbs to give prospective residents and investors an insight into life in the Northern Rivers, as well as a look into the Northern Rivers real estate and property market.
Tweed Heads
A coastal town located bordering New South Wales and Queensland, the suburb offers an escape to busy city life without compromising access to bustling hubs or transport links when required. Featuring beautiful beaches and scenery, a laid-back atmosphere and a welcoming local community, it is an ideal location for a Northern Rivers property, especially for inter-state buyers. As it borders on the Gold Coast airport, holiday-makers can be off the plane and by the water in just a matter of minutes. Property in the area has appreciated substantially over the last few years, with house prices growing 9% over the last 12 months alone to $1.297 million. For those looking to invest in the area, a buyer’s agent in Tweed Heads can help you find the perfect property.
Kingscliff
Featuring upmarket resorts, stunning landscapes and plenty of activities, there are plenty of things to do in Kingscliff for lovers of the outdoors. It’s also a foodie paradise, with top restaurants on the water, and cafes, food markets and a selection of international cuisines. Despite being an affluent area with a median house price of $1.92 million, it is down to earth and the perfect place to unwind, relax, and enjoy the best nature has to offer. As there is relatively little housing stock in the area, a buyer’s agent in Kingscliff can be the best way to secure the right property.
Casuarina
A quiet enclave between Kingscliff and Cabarita Beach, Casuarina offers a slow pace of those who are looking to sit back and relax. Although it isn’t the largest suburb, it has all the amenities for the perfect getaway. Just like the rest of the Northern Rivers region, Casuarina has beautiful beaches, but it also has plenty of things to do, places to eat, and things to see. The median house price in the area is $1.94 million, and the median unit price in the suburb is $910,000.
Cabarita Beach
Cabarita Beach—or Bogangar, a name used interchangeably—is a beautiful suburb that is away from the busier regional hubs including the Gold Coast and Byron Bay but still remains easily accessible. The beach and Norries Headland are popular with tourists, however with a wider population of just over 3,000, it is a relatively small town. The median price of houses and units in Bongangar is $1.43 million and $810,000, with both types of Cabarita beach real estate appreciating over the last 12 months. For help finding Cabarita Beach houses for sale, Northern Rivers buyer’s agents specialise in the area.
Pottsville
Further south of Cabarita Beach is Pottsville, a lesser-known coastal town that is a well-kept secret. 20 minutes away from Byron Bay, facilities, amenities, and a host of attractions and sites are just a short drive away. With schools, award-winning restaurants, markets, and an abundance of natural beauty, it is the perfect suburb for families. Real estate in Pottsville is appreciating with growing demand; the median house price has grown by 6.9% over the last 12 months to $1.32 million. To find the right property, Pottsville real estate agents and buyer’s agents can help local and inter-state buyers.
Byron Bay
The most recognisable of the Northern Rivers suburbs on this list, Byron Bay is a world-renowned coastal town known for its bohemian atmosphere and endless natural beauty. With stunning beaches, a rich hinterland, and a tight-knit community, the suburb manages to live up to its well-regarded reputation. Despite being further down south than most suburbs on this list, the Gold Coast airport is less than an hour away, so it is still a great choice for interstate buyers and investors alike. Thanks to its reputation, property in the area is costly, however. The median house price is $3.35 million, up a staggering 36.6% over the last 12 months.
Northern Rivers suburbs offer natural beauty and coastal lifestyle whilst being easily accessible for those who are travelling interstate. Whether you’re looking to invest, purchase a holiday home or a permanent move, the region has something to offer everyone.
