About Elanora
Elanora steps up the southern hills in split-levels and elevated designs from the 1980s and 90s. Sloping blocks mean retaining walls, suspended floors and under-storey spaces feature constantly — along with the external timber stairs and decks that weather hardest on the coast's green southern edge.
Much of the suburb backs onto Currumbin's reserve and gully systems, bringing genuine, sustained termite pressure to the boundary lines. Conducive conditions — shaded southern moisture, vegetation contact, timber retaining — get close attention, alongside the now-aging original wet areas and roofing of the era.
