Is Hope Island a safe, convenient place for young families?
1 Answer
Hi Angelica,
I thank you for your enquiry and can confirm that you have picked the perfect spot to look at raising your young family, although we do not have schools on the island you do have a very wide choice 10 minutes from home.
I have lived here for the past 13 years and have raised my family without fear and in relaxed atmosphere, my brother in law is also living on the island and he is raising a young family and also have my In Laws living on the Golf front on the island and we all would not wish to live anywhere else.
We have top class Security patrolling 24 hours a day on water and land, and during my time here I have only heard of two break ins with petty thieving.
The whole resort is built 3 meters above the 100 year flood level so insurance is not an issue, we have witnessed two floods and it only got to 300 mill above the revetment wall thus giving us comfort of over 3 meters to the house, I myself having been here that long do not have flood cover and I am not seeking to have any, the flood plains to the Broad water are immense enough to cope with any flood but I would not discourage you to have the cover for peace of mind.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions, I would only be too happy to show you around the Resort and can also lend you my golf buggy for you to appreciate what we have here.

Yes & you or your family are into selling real estate at HIR you would say its fantastic Jose St Ange!! Living outside gated estates at Hope Island you have plenty of trouble drug dens ferals etc & as they keep building more & more two story walk ups more trouble. Angelica if you are specificly thinking of buying in HIR or Sanctuary Cove to of the secure gated estates with 24hr security you should have no problems but outside the gated estates be aware of problems, I have lived on the Gold Coast for over fifty years & live at Hope Island outside the gated areas.
