Gold Coast Suburb Profile - Helensvale

Helensvale

Helensvale is an established community built on rolling hills and completed with a leafy outlook and community spirit. The suburb is bound by the Coombabah Lake to the east and part of the Coomera River. Helensvale was the first of the Gold Coast's master planned suburbs to sweep the Gold Coast. The suburb has an established feel due to its mature trees and lawns.

Probably the most remarkable attribute is Helensvale's claim that no resident is ever more than 5 minutes walk from parklands. There is an outstanding number of parks throughout the suburb which probably contributes to the area as being highly family orientated.
