84/126 Board Street, Deagon QLD 4017

1 bed unit | 51sqm courtyard | pet-friendly complex | Sandgate school catchment This unit at 84/126 Board Street offers a rare combination of a private courtyard and pet approval within a low-maintenance footprint, which is competitively strong for first-home buyers or downsizers seeking outdoor space without the land cost. The split-system air conditioning and built-in wardrobes are practical inclusions that reduce immediate outlay, and the Sandgate State School catchment adds a layer of demand stability for owner-occupiers. The 51sqm layout is efficient but not generous, and the property serves best as an affordable entry point or a lock-and-leave base for someone prioritising location over internal square meterage. The main risk is the unit’s position within a larger complex, where strata fees and body corporate rules can erode capital growth and limit flexibility—particularly if the building has aging common infrastructure. The recent sale of a similar unit at $320,000 provides a realistic benchmark, but this property’s courtyard and pet allowance may command a slight premium. The opportunity lies in holding it as a low-cost rental or a starter home in a corridor with steady demand from Sandgate’s amenity and school pull. Buy it for the courtyard and the school zone, not for expansion.
