    It has achieved just over 6% growth since the start of 2016 (a ‘down’ market). But over the last 10 years it has achieved growth of over 60%. Time to start rising perhaps. Only 0.37% of properties in the suburb are currently on the market which shows there is very limited stock available.
     
    Units are the most common dwelling style dominating the suburb along with a variety of older & newer semi-detached dwellings. 58% of dwellings in the area are units. 25% are Houses, 11% semi-detached and 6% other/commercial.
     
    Age mix for the suburb is 0 to 29 yo is 36%, 30 to 49 yo is 31%, 50 & above is 34% so it’s a very attractive suburb for families and retirees.
