27/7 Kent Street, West Gladstone QLD 4680
7th floor apartment | 89m² with wide balcony | West Gladstone | 2 bed, 1 bath, 1 car This apartment’s high-floor positioning and 89m² floor area create a rare combination of space and outlook in West Gladstone’s strata market. The wide balcony and open-plan design flow directly from living areas, making the unit feel larger than its footprint and appealing to owner-occupiers seeking light and amenity. The 1980 build is not new, but the single garage and NBN availability add practical convenience. This property suits a buyer wanting a lock-and-leave home or a rental holding in a regional centre with solid school catchment demand. The key risk is the 2010 purchase price of $215,000: 16 years of appreciation have been modest, and the current valuation spread of $262,000 to $335,000 signals market uncertainty. The $420 weekly rental estimate yields a gross return near 7.3% at the midpoint, which is viable but not exceptional for Gladstone. No flood or bushfire overlay reduces insurance concerns. Hold this property for steady rental income or as a downsizer’s residence; capital growth will depend on local employment and infrastructure trends, not the unit itself.
