Location and Lifestyle

Bokarina sits in a prime position, close to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital precinct and right next to Birtinya. The heart of the suburb is Bokarina Beach (locals often call it Boka Beach), which has become a hotspot for new residential development. With its direct beach access, walking tracks, and family-friendly vibe, it’s attracting a wide mix of buyers who want a modern lifestyle right by the ocean.

One of the most exciting plans for Bokarina is the proposed new surf club, set to be built right near the beachfront. This will further strengthen the community feel and provide another drawcard for families and beach lovers.

Alongside the surf and sand, Bokarina also boasts a growing café and dining culture. Popular spots include Boka restaurant, along with newcomers like Sundays and STOA. These venues give residents a taste of city-style dining without leaving their own neighbourhood.

The property market in Bokarina

The property market in Bokarina reflects its popularity and rapid growth. Townhouses in the area are currently selling for around $1.5 million for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration. Units vary widely in price depending on the building, the builder, and the outlook, ranging from around $850,000 to $1.5 million.

These values highlight Bokarina’s appeal to both downsizers looking for modern low-maintenance living and families wanting spacious, contemporary homes close to the beach. With a mix of townhouses, units, and larger family homes, the suburb offers options across different price points and lifestyles.

Who Bokarina suits

• Professionals and relocators who want brand-new homes or apartments with direct access to the beach.

• Families who love being close to the sand and are looking forward to community amenities like the new surf club.

• Investors interested in high-demand properties with strong rental appeal, particularly for health professionals working nearby at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

• Downsizers looking for stylish modern homes with minimal maintenance in a vibrant, growing community.

Buying tips for Bokarina

1. Know the buildings. With multiple developers active in Bokarina Beach, quality and design can vary. Understanding which buildings offer the best value is key.

2. Act quickly. Properties here are in high demand and can move fast, particularly townhouses and premium units.

3. Consider long-term growth. The surf club and ongoing development will likely increase demand further, so buying sooner rather than later could be a smart move.

4. Look at lifestyle access. Proximity to cafés, walking tracks, and the beach itself adds both lifestyle value and long-term appeal.

Why buyers choose Bokarina

Bokarina offers a mix that few suburbs can match — modern homes, beachfront living, an emerging café culture, and strong infrastructure links thanks to its closeness to Birtinya and the hospital precinct. For buyers relocating to the Sunshine Coast, it represents a suburb that’s already thriving and still growing.

It’s no surprise that townhouses and units are commanding strong prices here. With future amenities like the surf club on the horizon, Bokarina looks set to continue its rise as one of the most desirable suburbs on the Coast.
