"The cost of living in Gold Coast is considered to be relatively high compared to other cities in the world. Housing is one of the biggest expenses, with the cost of renting or buying a property being quite high. Utilities such as electricity, gas, and water are also quite expensive. The cost of food and groceries in Gold Coast is also high, with prices for fresh produce, meat, and dairy products being above the global average. Eating out at restaurants can also be quite costly, especially in tourist areas. Transportation costs can also add up, whether you're using public transport or maintaining a private vehicle. Petrol prices are high and public transport fares are also above average. Healthcare in Gold Coast is of a high standard, but it comes with a high price tag. Both public and private healthcare services can be quite expensive, especially if you don't have health insurance. Education costs are also a significant part of the cost of living in Gold Coast, especially for those with children. Public schools are generally less expensive, but private schools can be quite costly. Despite the high cost of living, many people are drawn to the Gold Coast for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and outdoor lifestyle. However, it's important to budget carefully and be prepared for the high costs associated with living in this popular Australian city," commented one expat who made the move to Gold Coast, Australia.
