101/18 Cadow Street, Kew East VIC 3102

Kew East unit | 95% owner-occupier building | good school zoning | balcony and secure parking This unit sits in a building with an unusually high owner-occupier ratio, which typically translates to better common-area upkeep, quieter neighbours, and stronger capital stability compared to investor-heavy blocks. The school zoning—Kew East Primary within 400 metres and Kew High under a kilometre—gives it a clear edge for families or downsizers who want to stay catchment-anchored without a house price tag. The balcony and built-in robes are standard, but in this context they support the liveability that owner-occupiers prize. It serves best a buyer who values location stability over renovation upside. The main risk is the unit sits in a 21-property block where a comparable sold for $550,000 in December 2025, which suggests the current price range sits above recent transactional evidence. The 44 percent auction clearance rate for two-bedroom units in Kew East also signals a market where buyers hold negotiating leverage. On the opportunity side, the building’s low renter ratio and long average occupancy of over five years point to a resident base that stays, which supports steady rental demand if needed. This property works best as a long-term hold in a tightly held building where the location does the heavy lifting.
