1/388 Canning Highway, Como WA 6152

1994 townhouse on 248m² | front position set back | no strata fees | lock-and-leave appeal | rental $780–$880/wk Built in 1994, this townhouse is seen as newer than much of Como’s older detached stock, and its front, set-back position is thought to remove the usual highway exposure while keeping corridor convenience. The low-maintenance format, with no strata fees, is regarded as a genuine rarity for a property of this age, offering a clear cost advantage for owner-occupiers and investors alike. It is best suited to downsizers, professionals, and lock-and-leave buyers who value an established suburb position without the demands of a large garden. Value may be influenced by the lack of details on internal finishes and parking, as buyers price those according to expectation. The 248m² land size is modest, but the townhouse format and no-fee structure might support a premium. Rental return of $780–$880 per week could underpin an investor’s view, while corridor redevelopment might add speculative interest. These factors are weighed differently by owner-occupiers versus investors. >> Comparable Sales: 2/400 Canning Highway sold for $965,000; 1/450 Canning Highway sold for $1,020,000 | Property Price Band: $900K–$1.0M | Value Drivers: no strata fees, 1994 build, front set-back position
