85 Melba Drive, East Ryde NSW 2113

East Ryde’s boutique dress-circle stock, leafy lanes and immediate access to Lane Cove National Park, plus proximity to Macquarie Park jobs and strong schools, keeps families and professionals chasing the rare freestanding home. Buyers value the village feel around Sager Place and the premium river views, yet the high entry price and low yields mean the market rewards patient holders while ongoing infrastructure (hospital and education campus upgrades plus Ryde’s gentrification spillover) keeps the precinct relevant. Price performance has been calm to gently rising – mid-single-digit annual growth with about 6% uplift in the past quarter – so the last six months have broadly held that steady, pointing to a soft but positive trajectory.
