Question

Southport, is it a safe place to live?

Answer 1

Little unsure how to answer this one.

My ex lives in Southport and he has been mugged coming home from his local club four times..  having said this he is in his 50's and looks a easy mark especially when he has had a few (hehehe) however he has given them back just as hard as they try - they probaly still have the scars!.

saying that my two daughters (in their 20's) have walked together around the area at night all ok

I have had no problems walking with my friends when i have stayed up there (I'm in Melb)

Overall I feel it is a safe area just beware walking alone late at night!

Answer 2

Southport is great. But where ever one lives you have to be mindful and not put yourself in a vunerable position. There are breakins but usually happens when one has been careless and left the place open there are cars that get stolen but not usually if they have an alarm . And this happens all over Australia . Normally one would never see such things but read about them. I have lived next to southport for years and have never had a problem but I do not walk the streets at night by myself. Even if I did the chances of being safe would be high.

The whole of the Gold Coast is crime infested.

Try Byron Bay instead
