Lake Kawana living next to the hospital precinct. Here's what you need to know before you buy, from a buyer's agent who works the Sunshine Coast every day.
Birtinya wraps around Lake Kawana and sits next to Sunshine Coast University Hospital. That hospital is a big employer, and it keeps rental demand steady.
Homes are mostly modern. Birtinya Island has the waterfront stock, and the beach is a short drive away.
