Mr Yatman said improvements in the area were similar to those in inner suburbs like Paddington, Surry Hills and Redfern in previous decades. “Most people who don’t live around here don’t realise what it’s like. It has good shopping, lots of parks, lots of schools, the blocks are a decent size, 550-650sqm, and it’s a straight line to the CBD.”
“Our unit has water views and there are recreation areas everywhere. It’s great for family outings,” she said.
