Yaroomba : Buyers Agent Guide

Yaroomba is a relaxed close knit, coastal community, south of Coolum and Point Arkwright.

Yaroomba beach is an open unpatrolled beach. The area is characterised by a small enclave of beachside streets (to the east of David Low Way), and undulating residential streets to the west of David Low Way with the Palmer Coolum Resort making up a large area within this suburb. It is a quieter suburb with few shops and cafes, but still a convenient location to Coolum and the rest of the Sunshine Coast.  

What is Yaroomba like to live in? 

Yaroomba is is home to approximately 2,043 residents so a relatively small community. Adjacent suburbs include:

• South (along the coast) – Mount Coolum, Marcoola 
• West – Coolum
• North (along the coastline) – Point Arkwright 

Yaroomba is known for its small, close knit community and relaxed atmosphere. Living in Yaroomba offers residents access to stunning stretches of sandy coastline, perfect for surfing, and other water activities. The community in Yaroomba is generally friendly and tight-knit, with a mix of locals and tourists enjoying the area. There are mostly houses and townhouses within this community, and beachside parts of Yaroomba are highly sought after. Over the past few years, a mixed use development was proposed for one parcel of land owned previously by Sekisui House, however the local community put strong objections to this development which resulted in the original developer abandoning their plans. This parcel of land has been purchased by a different developer, who now plans to develop a gated residential community. 

While Yaroomba is more quiet and relaxed compared to some of the busier tourist hubs on the Sunshine Coast, it is close to nearby towns such as Coolum Beach, which provide additional services, restaurants and entertainment options.

Overall, living in Yaroomba provides a peaceful coastal lifestyle with easy access to natural beauty and outdoor activities, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a relaxed beachside existence.
