4/1-9 Shirley Street, Carlingford NSW 2118
Mid-size apartment in established low-rise block | Family-oriented 2/3-bed layout | Light rail and school catchment | Strong owner-occupier tenure | Possible park outlook
This unit is positioned as a practical, family-oriented apartment in a well-established low-rise block. The building offers a mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts, with one or two parking spaces, which suits first-home buyers, young families, downsizers, and investors. Its location is supported by Carlingford Public School and Cumberland High School catchments, plus the presence of The King’s School and Tara Anglican School for Girls nearby. Light rail access to Parramatta is also a noted benefit. The internal finish level, where updated, has been marketed with stone benchtops, timber flooring, and modern cabinetry, so the stock is likely to feel contemporary rather than dated. Long resident tenure is reflected in stable owner-occupier appeal, while solid rental demand is indicated by recent leasing evidence.
The exact floor level and aspect are expected to shape how the unit compares with others in the building, particularly for light, privacy, and outlook. A rear balcony with green views has been described in the complex, so units with that orientation may be preferred. The surrounding precinct is understood to be in transition, with a large mixed-use proposal nearby, so future construction activity and streetscape change should be weighed. The unit’s internal presentation and any recent renovations may be considered the main differentiator against newer apartment stock.
>> Comparable Sales: unit 35 in the building sold for $695k; unit 19 sold for $708k | Property Price Band: $690K–$790K | Value Drivers: floor level, internal condition, outlook, parking allocation
