Low-Rise Apartments in Sydney

Low-rise apartments (under 4 storeys) in inner-west suburbs (Newtown, Glebe, Balmain) command 10-20% premiums over high-rise due to character, community, and lower strata fees.

Boutique buildings deliver superior liveability with 85% resident satisfaction versus 65% in high-rise towers, driving stronger tenant retention and lower vacancy rates.

Planning controls limit new low-rise supply in established suburbs, creating scarcity value and 10-15% annual capital growth in tightly held character precincts with heritage protection.
