Gold Coast to Sydney with Allied
Looking to trade Sydney's bustling city life for the sun-soaked shores of south east Queensland? The Gold Coast is Australia's playground, offering beautiful beaches to enjoy, stunning national parks, and ample entertainment options for all ages. The Goldie is fast becoming a beloved destination for Sydney-siders looking to settle into a more relaxed lifestyle with unique opportunities by the sea.
As one of Australia's most trusted interstate removalists, Allied Moving Services has decades of experience in helping families and individuals move successfully. Our Gold Coast and Sydney interstate removalist teams work together to ensure that every interstate relocation is as seamless as possible.
Why Relocate to Gold Coast from Sydney?
Laid back lifestyle
The Gold Coast draws in newcomers from all around Australia and the world relocating for innumerable reasons. Young people often move here to enjoy relaxed coastal living and remote work, while families and retirees love the Gold Coast for its lower cost of living and slower pace compared to the big city.
Housing availability
Sydney’s metropolitan area has a population density of over 1,200 people per square kilometre—a stark contrast to the Gold Coast’s 580. This lower number makes the real estate and rental markets more accessible and affordable, with a three-bedroom apartment in the Gold Coast renting for around 50% less than the Sydney equivalent.
Employment opportunities
The laidback lifestyle is also reflected in the Gold Coast’s employment landscape, with a boom in lifestyle-related jobs, like tourism, hospitality, and retail. This is combined with growing opportunities in professional sectors including tech and education. While these types of roles are also available in Sydney, the city’s employment landscape is more typically geared towards business and finance.
Climate
The Gold Coast's subtropical climate is a major attraction for Sydney residents considering relocation. With over 300 days of sunshine annually, it truly earns Queensland's "Sunshine State" nickname. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 15°C, eliminating those chilly Sydney mornings, while summer brings comfortable warmth between 20-28°C and refreshing sea breezes. This consistent climate allows for year-round outdoor activities, from beach walks to hinterland hikes.
Culture & lifestyle
The Gold Coast blends relaxed beach culture with growing urban sophistication, offering a welcome change from Sydney's fast-paced atmosphere. Residents enjoy a more balanced lifestyle where weekend beach visits, outdoor dining, nightlife adventures, and active pursuits take priority. The Gold Coast is also home to a developing arts community, thriving café culture, and a favourite among families—its theme parks. Sports enthusiasts embrace year-round outdoor activities, families appreciate community-oriented neighbourhoods, and professionals enjoy shorter commutes and improved work-life balance with easy access to natural environments.
