2/8 Hampden Street, Beverly Hills NSW 2209

2-bedroom, 2-bathroom | north-facing balcony | 109m² internal | strong owner-occupied building This property’s competitive edge lies in its generous internal size and north-facing balcony within a small, predominantly owner-occupied block of only seven units. For a buyer seeking a genuine two-bedroom apartment with separate living and dining, this floorplan offers a rarity in the current market, where most new stock is smaller and compromised. The high ceilings and floating timber floors add a quality feel that supports long-term appeal. It best serves an owner-occupier wanting a solid, low-maintenance home within walking distance to Beverly Hills Public School and transport, or an investor targeting stable demand from families and professionals. The primary risk is the 2017 purchase price of $685,000, which, after nine years, leaves limited capital growth evidence in a suburb where median values have moved modestly. The 30% rental portion in the building is manageable, but the 0% auction clearance rate for the suburb signals a cautious market. The opportunity is in buying below the Domain mid-estimate of $800,000 to secure a yield above 4.6% with a tenant already paying $720 per week. Hold this property for its liveability and steady rental demand, not for short-term flipping.
