Rent & Property Reality

Cheaper-than-inner-north rents keep costs down. Average 1BR sits around $1,200/month — roughly under the metro mark. Older brick homes and townhouses dominate, with new builds in pockets. Here’s the kicker: vacancy tightens around Term 1, so apply early. For live medians and sales data, see Domain.
