Several major residential developments including The Avenue, Coburg, a build to rent development at 27-31 and 22-38 The Avenue, Coburg, and 45 Pentridge Boulevard in Coburg with a plan of 200+ apartments and retail space.
With the number of medium/high density and build-to-rent apartment projects being proposed or under construction, some parts of Coburg will experience increased density. That can mean more traffic, fewer parking options, more noise, potential overshadowing.
Properties under Heritage, Design, or Environmental Overlays may face restrictions on what can be changed. Permissions may be harder to get, take longer, or require more adjustments (materials, facades, rooflines etc.). Costs (design, consultation, compliance) may be higher.
Key roads like Sydney Road are busy, and congestion is common. Noise from traffic and possibly commercial uses (cafés, shops) is higher in proximity to main roads. Parking may be limited especially in newer, denser developments.
Median house price $1.173 million. Highly competitive, with strong demand for period homes and growing interest in new townhouse and apartment developments.
Median unit price $570,000. Steadily growing market with lots of interest from buyers.

Most contracts settle in 30, 60 or 90 days. Timing depends on what’s agreed in the contract, your finance approval, and any special conditions (e.g., building/pest). We drive the process, keep everyone aligned, and let you know if anything could affect your settlement date.
