1201/4 Saunders Close, Macquarie Park NSW 2113

1-bedroom unit Macquarie Park | near station study nbn gym pool | 60% renters strong tenant pool | fresh listing minimal comparable stock. What makes this unit stand out is its study zone, gym and pool in a suburb where 168 one-bedroom sales a year confirm steady demand. The 1.1km walk to Kent Road Public School and 1.8km to Epping Boys High School open the property to a rare buyer group—professionals who also want a family-friendly catchment without a house price. The current listing sits above the 660k median, but the building’s amenity set (secure parking, balcony, air conditioning) and the 40% owner-occupier mix tilt the micro-market toward better capital retention than the average investor-heavy block. It serves best as a hybrid home-and-save property for a single professional or couple who commute via station and plan to stay 5–7 years. Four days on market and no floor plan means price discovery is not yet settled. The estimated value range of 690–700k suggests the 715–735k ask carries a premium of roughly 15–35k. Given 60% renters in the street and 50 average days on market, that premium risks landing the buyer in an overpaid position if a correction hits units in Macquarie Park. The March 2020 sale at 668k confirms a full cycle has passed through; the question is whether the new buyer can rely on another upswing. The buyer’s edge here is patience—ask for 700k plus a long settlement and hold the study as a flexible room for resale or work-from-home leverage later.
