It’s an absolute bludger of a road to live on as well - choked with traffic (by Newie standards anyway). You couldn’t pay me to live there, let...
I know that area well, it’s a nice pocket and yes flat blocks are hard to come by in AH. But it’s a fairly unispiring/average reno on the...
I clicked thinking it might be a property adjacent, but 3km!! Think about how many other residences there are between you & the jail in that...
Initially passed in at $1.2M I heard - that was ambitious
For me personally, I wouldn’t buy anywhere near “the gates” (Adamstown station level crossing). Catch those at the wrong time, and just like that...
