Sunshine Coast Rental Property

Renting on the Sunshine Coast is more affordable than in a major city, but the choice of houses and flats on offer is obviously smaller. Our rental properties notice board has a wide range of properties for rent all over the Sunshine Coast and is especially useful for finding flatmates. If you're looking for a house your best bet is to check the weekend paper, or drop into local agents offices at the start of business on a Saturday morning (or earlier in the week if you can to avoid the rush).

The following is a rough guide of what you could expect to pay for Sunshine Coast rental accommodation in 2006:
