Melbourne lifestyle, investment, and rental notes
Lifestyle
Melbourne sells laneways, sport, and four seasons in a day. Inner north vs inner east is a real lifestyle split. Trams make a wide inner city usable without a car.
Investment
Apartment oversupply has been a theme in some towers; houses in the inner ring remain scarce. Yields on houses are often thin versus growth expectations.
Rentals and development
Students and professionals keep inner lets busy. New apartments still complete in Docklands-style precincts. Family houses push into the middle ring.
