3/358 Livingstone Road, Marrickville NSW 2204

North facing | 78sqm flat | 85% clearance zone | auction May 23 This two-bedroom flat offers a rare combination of size and orientation in Marrickville’s tightly held inner-west market. The north aspect and renovated condition reduce the typical compromises of apartment living, making it competitively positioned against newer stock that often sacrifices space for finishes. With the building holding only nine properties and the suburb running an 85% auction clearance rate, buyer competition is real but the supply constraint works in your favour. It suits an owner-occupier seeking long-term liveability or an investor targeting the $725 weekly rental with strong tenant demand in a 90% renter-occupied pocket. The main risk is the 10% owner-occupier ratio, which can soften capital growth compared to more balanced streets, and the auction format means you’ll need to bid decisively within the $860k–$938k estimate range. On the upside, the 2012 sale at $415k shows the suburb’s compounding trajectory, and the north-facing bedrooms and open car space are genuine differentiators in this price bracket. Hold for five-plus years to capture the area’s ongoing densification and transport upgrades.
