Pimpama — the growth corridor of the northern Gold Coast.

The market

Pimpama in 2026: high yield, fast lease-up, ongoing supply.

Pimpama is the most active growth corridor on the northern Gold Coast. The suburb has expanded heavily through new master-planned estates over the last decade, drawing first home buyers, growing families, and investors looking for strong rental returns.

Three things define the Pimpama story:

• Heavy new-build supply — Gainsborough Greens, Pimpama Junction, Aurora Estate and others bring consistent new stock to market.
• Best yields in the region — lower entry prices combined with firm rents push gross yields to ~4.0% for houses and up to 5.6% for newer townhouses.
• Family-driven tenant demand — 4-bedroom houses, dual-living configurations, and townhouses near Pimpama State Secondary College and Coomera Anglican College lease quickly.

The trade-off: ongoing new estate releases mean capital growth typically lags more supply-constrained suburbs like Ormeau. The investment thesis here is yield and cashflow, not rapid capital appreciation.
