Miami Suburb Profile  

Loved by locals for its beautiful beaches and chilled lifestyle, Miami is a well-positioned suburb that’s close enough to the main action of the Gold Coast while not getting too swept up in it. When you’re not hitting the beach, there’s so much to do in town with cafés, restaurants, local markets, and a lively music and art scene all on offer.

The Locals

Miami has become one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Gold Coast to call home in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. Living in Miami ticks all the boxes, offering an unbeatable lifestyle that perfectly balances tranquility and excitement. Renowned for its beautiful beaches and laid-back atmosphere, this coastal suburb attracts residents who want a slice of that sweet beach culture life. With three beaches in town and nearby (Nobby Beach, Miami, and Burleigh), the ocean is the lifeline that runs through this community, bringing residents together for recreation and relaxation. Locals and visitors can be seen sunbathing, swimming, surfing, or simply strolling along the shoreline, taking in the breathtaking coastal views. 

Much like many of the tight-knit Gold Coast communities nearby, living in Miami means being part of a welcoming network of locals who are all about getting to know their neighbours while embracing a laid-back, beachy lifestyle. 

The social scene in Miami is legendary, with regular events and markets bringing the community together. The weekly Miami Marketta night market is a popular gathering spot, where visitors can enjoy delicious street food and live music performances. Miami’s well-placed location means it’s close to other bustling areas of the Gold Coast like Surfer’s Paradise and Broadbeach, but it’s still just a touch away from the action so you can enjoy a slightly slower tempo of living. 

In terms of housing, there’s a diverse offering of homes from duplexes, units, and penthouses to ‘do-er-uppers’ that you can renovate into brand-new homes and rake in the rewards! 

Miami State School is a popular choice for locals as it’s co-ed. The suburb also has two surf lifesaving clubs and plenty of parks and green spaces, including Pizzey Park and Mick Schamberg Park.

According to the 2021 Census, the median age of a resident in Miami is 37 and the overall population is 7,445. Residents are attracted to the relaxed beachside lifestyle, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that appeals to people from all walks of life.
