Your property in Pacific Pines
Pacific Pines is a suburb of four-bedroom family homes
More than half of Pacific Pines’ homes have four bedrooms, and nearly one resident in four is under 15. Couples with children are the largest family type. If you don’t live nearby, you want to see what is happening at your property without having to ask. Your own owner portal, showing your statements, bills, inspection reports and repair jobs at any time.
A family-sized weekly rent is a large amount to fall behind on. If rent falls behind, your tenant hears from us every day from day 1, and on day 8 we issue the breach notice the legislation allows. Grant Drennan, our founder and Director, is an investor himself and the constant behind every property we manage.

Living in Pacific Pines
Pacific Pines became a suburb in its own right in 2003
Pacific Pines was master-planned by Stockland, which bought the land in 1990. It was gazetted in 1994 as a neighbourhood within Gaven and became a suburb in its own right in 2003. Its schools came with it: Pacific Pines State High School opened in 2000, Jubilee Primary School in 2001, Pacific Pines State School in 2002 and Park Lake State School in 2008.
Pacific Pines Town Centre is on Pitcairn Way, with a Woolworths on Hotham Drive. Nerang National Park lies along the suburb’s edge. The suburb has a community hall, cricket fields, netball, AFL and tennis courts and two off-leash dog parks, and the Pacific Pines Panthers basketball club began in 2013.
