According to the CoreLogic Herdonic Home Value Index report from September 2, the median dwelling price in Perth is $785,250 and continues to rise, which can make finding a property under half a million dollars increasingly harder.
Following the federal and state governments’ $8 billion commitment over the next decade into the HMAS Stirling upgrades, the future jobs outlook for the Rockingham area is strong, and historically, property prices go hand in hand with a robust local economy.
As such, now could be a great time to invest in your first step on the property ladder or with an eye on the 700 American personnel and local employees expected to need rental housing close to the naval base.
The apartments coming on to the market at 95 Chalgrove Avenue in Rockingham offer one or two-bedroom layouts and sit under the $500,000 price point.
They are within easy walking distance to Rockingham Centre and the alfresco dining and entertainment precinct.
Situated within a 2016-built complex, these modern, easy-care apartments all benefit from landscaped common outdoor areas, a secure lobby entrance with intercom buzzers and elevators, as well as secure, allocated car bays and storage rooms.
Internally, there is a washer and dryer combination in the European laundry, split system air-conditioning to the lounge and bedrooms, and the two-bedroom apartments benefit from an ensuite to the main bedroom.
A modern, galley-style kitchen with stone benchtops leads into an open-plan living and dining area with full-height and width glass sliding doors. These provide ample natural light and access to the private, full-width balcony — perfect for entertaining or breakfast on a sunny morning.
