2/212 Hampden Road, Crawley WA 6009

If you are a student, an employee of UWA, or have a child going to UWA, you couldn’t find a more convenient location, being a walk of less than 500m to the main campus.

If you are employed at one of the nearby hospitals (SCGH, PCH, and Hollywood Hospital), or one of the many nearby medical centres, you would never again have to worry about parking, if you lived this close.

Should you need to travel a little further, the FREE Purple CAT Bus Service, which runs every 8 minutes during business hours to the city, via the QE2 Medical Centre, passes right in front of the building.

Similarly, if you are an investor, it’s hard to imagine this apartment ever being vacant, considering the high demand for rental properties from students, academics and medical personnel. Recent rentals in the building have been in the $400pw to $450pw range.

This 40sqm studio apartment is located on the first floor of this popular building, and enjoys an outlook to the vibrant Hampden Road café, restaurant and shopping strip. It is an end unit (only 1 adjoining neighbour), with a private balcony and a relaxing treed outlook.

Council rates for 2024/25 are $1,316.50, water rates for 2024/25 are $975.08, and strata fees are currently $700 per quarter for the administrative fund, and $250 per quarter for the reserve fund, for a total of $950 per quarter.

This is the most affordable apartment currently for sale in the area, so if you prefer not to live in shared housing, and you would rather invest in real estate than pay off a landlord’s mortgage, act quickly, or you will almost certainly miss out.
