20/169 Railway Parade, Mount Lawley WA 6050
2-bed 1-bath 1970s unit | secure block near station | walk to Beaufort St | strong rental yield | modest growth record This apartment is positioned within a secure 1970s complex, with one car bay and air conditioning. Its proximity to the railway station, Beaufort Street cafes and Mount Lawley school catchments makes it an unusually convenient inner-city buy. The unit is best suited to an investor or first-home buyer seeking a lower-entry property with strong rental demand. The complex is known for gross yields above 7%, which is notable for the location. While the building is not prestigious, its walkability and transport access give it a dependable appeal that is expected to continue. Value may be influenced by the unit’s condition and renovation level, as comparable apartments in the building have sold across a wide range. Presentation, floor level and orientation might also affect price, though these details are not confirmed. The property is located on a main corridor, so noise and traffic should be weighed. Older stock and modest capital growth might limit appreciation, but rental income is likely to remain strong. A view on price should be formed based on the unit’s finish and outlook.
