404/9 Station Street, Wickham NSW 2293

404/9 Station Street | Wickham edge position | compact 1-bed with courtyard | flood overlay flagged | strong rental yield This unit presents a rare configuration for the area—a one-bedroom with a private courtyard and dedicated garage, which is uncommon in newer Wickham builds. The 68sqm internal floorplan with built-in robes and an ensuite gives it a self-contained feel that appeals to professionals or investors targeting the 20-39 demographic that dominates the local population. The 80% owner-occupier ratio in the building suggests stable tenure and well-maintained common property, while the fibre-to-premises NBN and 5G coverage add practical appeal for remote workers. For a buyer seeking a low-maintenance entry into Newcastle’s inner ring with above-median rental yield potential, this property positions competitively. The flood overlay is the primary risk and should be investigated beyond the standard certificate—check historical inundation records and building insurance premiums for the block. That said, the property sits on a 2,625sqm lot with only 59 units, meaning lower density than many nearby complexes, which tends to support capital stability. The absence of bushfire or heritage constraints simplifies due diligence. For an investor, the $645 weekly rent against a mid-range valuation offers a yield that outperforms many Sydney equivalents; for an owner-occupier, the courtyard and parking are genuine differentiators in a market where most one-bedrooms lack both.
