River view | fully furnished | 2-bed central Mackay | built 2015 This two-bedroom apartment in Riviera Apartments presents a rare combination of modern build quality and central positioning with river views, a configuration that typically commands a premium in Mackay’s rental market. The fully furnished status and air-conditioned layout with balcony and outdoor entertainment area reduce the friction for an investor seeking immediate tenancy or a buyer wanting a lock-and-leave residence. At an 83m² lot with two bathrooms and parking, it competes well against older stock in the same price band, and the 5.5% rental yield estimate suggests income resilience. This property suits a professional couple or investor prioritising low-maintenance living in a growth suburb that has seen 21.7% recent appreciation. The flood overlay is the primary risk and must be factored into insurance costs and resale liquidity, though no heritage or bushfire issues compound it. Buyers should verify the specific flood level and whether mitigation measures exist in the complex. The 2014 purchase price of $475,000 indicates the property has not yet recovered to that peak, offering a potential entry point below prior market highs. Hold this as a medium-term rental or owner-occupied base in a tightening Mackay market, with the river view providing ongoing differentiation.
