20/76 Kent Street, Rockingham WA 6168
2-bed unit | 60m² beachside | 1 car space | 1970 build | Bushfire overlay
This unit sits within a compact beach-adjacent cluster on Kent Street, offering a rare low-maintenance coastal format that suits first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. Its 2-bed, 1-bath configuration with a single car space is practical rather than spacious, but the location — a short stroll to Rockingham Beach, parks, and local dining — gives it a lifestyle edge that outweighs the modest internal size. The 1970s build means original finishes are likely, yet the established demand for this stock type, reflected in consistent rental interest and mid-single-digit yields, makes it a dependable entry point into a sought-after coastal suburb. It competes well against newer units by offering a beachside position at a more accessible price level.
The bushfire overlay may influence insurance premiums and could require careful consideration for any future renovation or development plans. The lack of confirmed floor level, aspect, and balcony details means the unit’s outlook and natural light remain uncertain — factors that can materially shift desirability. Parking is limited to one space, which might deter households with multiple vehicles. Condition is the key variable; an unrenovated interior may need budget for updates, while a well-kept unit could hold strong appeal. Buyers should weigh these elements against the proven rental demand and coastal lifestyle benefits when forming a price view.
