Southport has long topped the list for first home buyers on the Gold Coast due to its relative affordability compared to its neighbouring Main Beach.

Boutique developer Busikon is tapping into the entry-level market with a twist, with sub-$500,000 apartments at their Waverley Residences project designed by renowned architect Rothelowman, who have designed some of the country's best buildings.

The Waverley Residences offer 60 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across its eight levels.

The apartments are fitted with modern fixtures and fittings, including 100 per cent wool carpet throughout, handpicked ceramic and porcelain wall tiles in the bathrooms, composite timber flooring across living and dining spaces, and a reconstituted stone island bench in the kitchen.

High-quality appliances have been incorporated throughout, including ceramic cooktops, dishwashers, ovens and rangehoods. 

The apartments are also equipped with separate enclosed laundry areas, large window panels that allow plenty of natural light in, built-in feature shelves and plenty of storage space.

Situated in one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after suburbs, residents will have easy access to public transportation, shopping centres, restaurants and cafes.

There's a range of two-bedroom apartments still remaining, with prices starting from $498,000. 

Spanning from 93 sqm to 106 sqm, each includes a study space, along with two-bathrooms and one car space.
