Lake Haven market and investor summary
Lake Haven (NSW 2263) runs a median house price of $865K, with houses yielding a gross 3.9%. House prices have moved +8.4% over the past year and +23.1% over three years. At 1.6% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.9% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Lake Haven: people, income and schools
