Eastwood’s demand is anchored by express trains to the city, highly regarded schools and a new Rowe Street mixed-use retail pipeline keeping buyers circling back for family homes. Investors and owner-occupiers value the lively high street, steady rental growth and the fact that houses still deliver around 2% yields while units edge slightly higher. Pricing has been steady to modestly firmer over the past six months – houses around $2.72–2.75M with units a touch lower – so the suburb feels resilient, with unit performance the main downside risk but also the clearest upside should amenities and affordability improve.
