Default Southport. Benowa Rd. Whats wrong?

As many of you know. Me and the wife are looking to move to GC next year. We have been looking at Southport. I know some say its not the best/not for them. But as i said we are looking. So whats the deal with Benowa Road. I have seen a few houses for sale around that area. Why? Is there something wrong with Benowa Road? Opinions please.

It's like anywhere. Goes in fits and starts - not the road the real estate market. We are on a brilliant road, didn't have any for sale for months and now have 5, nothing going on though. Southport's ok and Benowa's nice so I'd have thought that Benowa Road in Southport was fine
