702/16A Evans Avenue, Eastlakes NSW 2018

3 bed 2 bath 2 car | New high-spec apartment above shopping centre | Pool gym rooftop included | Appeals to downsizers and professionals This property stands out as a genuinely modern apartment in a suburb where most stock is older and lower-spec. The finishes are strong — floor-to-ceiling glass, SMEG appliances, stone benches — and the amenity package with a heated pool, gym, and rooftop deck is rare for Eastlakes. Being part of the Grand Residences development above the shopping centre means convenience is built in, and the three-bedroom configuration with two car spaces makes it a comfortable option for downsizers or professional households who want newer product near the inner-east without paying Rosebery or Alexandria prices. The value here may be influenced by how the broader Eastlakes precinct matures over time. Being above a shopping centre offers convenience but might also mean more noise or traffic during trading hours. The land component is minimal for an apartment, so capital growth will depend more on demand for this specific building and its amenity than on land scarcity. Buyers should weigh whether the premium for new finishes and facilities holds its value compared to older units in the same suburb that may offer more space for a lower entry price.
