look up real estate . com or domain.
the prices are getting stupid up here. i moved from sydney 11 yrs ago wen it was reasonable.these days i have not heard of being able to get a house under 300 bucks. if you are willing to live in units/duplexes/townhouse you may get one for 250+. but for the cheaper places there is lots of rental competiton.
good luck with the move. its nice up here

you cant get a townhouse for under the $300 mark anymore. I looked some on the realeaste web sit they were just as much as a house. That was around the coomer area. we were lucky and got one when it was cheap.

Is there any reason you want to move to the Gold Coast? Do you have family or friends there?
If you are happy to be a little further away from the coast then rentals are a bit cheaper. We live in Logan, it takes me about 30-45mins to drive to the gold coast. A 3 bedroom house round here is about $300/wk, sometimes a little more or less depending on what the house is like. Beenleigh area is also ok, tho I haven't lived there myself. It's a bit closer to the coast than where I live, and the rent is (or was last time I looked) slightly cheaper.

You can also look up www.seqrents.com.au alot of the onsite managers of complexes use this site and sometimes you can get a better deal. I hope this helps.

When we moved here we were looking for a 3 bedroom townhouse in Robina, and on average they were around $370+ per week. We ended up getting a 4 bedroom house for $410 instead.
