Even though it is not an official suburb of the Gold Coast, but is rather a part of Surfers Paradise, the area does have its own unique identity and village atmosphere.
Situated in the middle of the Nerang River, Chevron Island has clear access to both Surfers Paradise and Bundall.
Also the Island has direct access to the Broadwater. Chevron is ideally located close to major medical facilities, hospitals and retail shopping at Bundall, Southport and Surfers Paradise. The Turf Club is within walking distance as is the Southport Golf Club. The Arts Entertainment Centre is close by. Public transport is available with easy links to all parts of the Gold Coast. Local Primary & Secondary schools are highly sought after by families. World class beaches are minutes away. Other water sports are also prominent on the river. The climate of course is just the best.
There are three very different dwellings styles that make up the island. These are the older style, one-storey houses that date back to the 1960s, the more modern three and four story homes that are the norm for the island and the exclusive absolute riverfront homes located around the island's perimeter.
The future for the Chevron property market is solid as the town plan allows buildings in the town plan allows buildings in the centre of the island to reach a maximum height of eight to 10 levels.
This, however, is balanced by a greater proportion of the parcel being set aside for landscaping.
CRONIN ISLAND is situated at the northern tip of Chevron Island and is another prestige community.
The Island is small and has only one street - Southern Cross Drive- The homes are grandiose and extremely exclusive.
One of Cronin Island's impressive claims is that it is home to Queensland's first million dollar house sale back in 1983.
With development sites few and far between and given the continuing demand for inner given the continuing demand for inner-city living, increased interstate migration and the continual upgrading of the Surfers Paradise retail precinct, the future of residential investment in the area is bright.
