104/42 Rowell Drive, Mernda VIC 3754

Two bedrooms, one bathroom | no flood or fire overlay | rental yield near 5% | school catchment confirmed | FTTN not FTTP The primary risk here is the single bathroom, which limits appeal to couples or small families and may extend days on market above the 52-day average. A rental return of $425 per week supports holding costs, and the absence of overlay risks removes insurance premium pressure. This unit suits an investor seeking stable cash flow or a first-home buyer entering the market with a modest deposit. What makes this property competitive is the built-in robes and allocated car plus garage space, which are rarer in this price bracket. The proximity to Mernda Primary School and P-12 College gives it a clear tenant pool, and the private balcony adds lifestyle appeal. This unit best serves a buyer prioritising yield over capital growth in a proven rental corridor. To proceed, confirm the exact body corporate fees and strata bylaws, then compare the unit’s floor plan against other two-bedroom stock currently listed within a 500-metre radius.
