Newport the Redcliffe Peninsula's newest estate ? a master-planned waterfront community built around the Newport Marina on the northern tip of the peninsula. Thirty-two kilometres from Brisbane, it's the kind of place where the streets are lined with modern homes and the marina is the social hub, with restaurants and cafes spilling out onto the boardwalk. The median house price is among the highest on the peninsula, reflecting the premium for new-build quality, water access, and the Newport lifestyle that includes the Waterline dining precinct and direct ocean access from the marina.

Crime is 52% lower than QLD avg (break-ins vs QLD) and violent crime is 40% lower. Population of 2,352 (2021), growing +5%.
