Property Overview
A quick summary of this property's key insights, risks and local context.
The Block
52/100
Constrainted block
Significant site constraints from steep topography and a position 2.9m below street level, though R1 zoning and strong land value signal support usability.
Convenience & Lifestyle
72/100
Well connected
No rail within 3km, but primary school and beach are very close; ferry access is steep, so daily life relies on local shops and bus backup.
Price Positioning
92/100
Prestige Tier
The pocket median sits +40% above the suburb median (band 5), with the street also trading +34% above median, signalling a clearly higher-end local price tier.
