- Rising stock of affordable entry-level listings
- Proximity to CBD amenities and cultural hotspots
Cons:
- Can be noisy and busy in peak times
- Limited green space compared to outer suburbs

Consider proximity to light rail stops and CBD employment nodes for rental demand, and budget for higher strata fees as buildings age.
