December 2020: New apartments you can buy in Sydney for under $600,000
Entering the Sydney market as a first home buyer can seem like a daunting task and finding affordable housing in NSW's capital often proves difficult, especially when you don't know where to look.
If you're a first home buyer or your budget is on the tighter side, here are six residences you can get for $600,000 in Sydney and its surrounds.
1. Vicinity Point, Wolli Creek
One-bedroom apartments from $465,000
Address: 30-32 Guess Avenue, Wolli Creek NSW 2205
In Sydney, scoring an apartment for less than $500,000 is a steal – and just 15 minutes from Central Station sits Wolli Creek’s luxury development, Vicinity Point, at a price range that will suit the budget of first home buyers.
Located near the Cooks River, Vicinity is offering a one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence with a car space at $585,000 or without the car space at $465,000.
The modern apartments are “strikingly contemporary”, the marketing reads, offering stylish kitchens, neutral colour palettes and oversized terraces. Developed by Level 33, Vicinity Point is located nearby riverfront parkland, cycleways and Kogarah Golf Club.
One-bedroom apartments from $595,000
Address: 213 Princes Highway, Arncliffe NSW 2205
Bloom Arncliffe features timeless design by EJE Architecture, offering a selection of one, two and three-bedroom ready-to-go apartments from $595,000. Located closeby Sydney’s southern beaches, the project is perfect for a first-time owner or smart investor.
The one-bedroom apartments offer sweeping views of the Sydney CBD and Botany Bay, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and a private balcony, and features onsite amenity including a ground-floor marketplace with restaurants.
3. Central at the Langston, Epping
One-bedroom apartments from $590,000
Address: 12-22 Langston Place, Epping
The Langston community at Epping is set to become a vertical village, with exercise, shopping and co-working facilities, built on Epping’s highest vantage point. Central is the project’s second stage, offering a new 24-storey tower with the majority of apartments priced for first home buyers.
A one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment at Central is priced from $590,000, offering amenities such as podium-level gardens, a wellness hub, pool deck and sky lounge. These apartments are also eligible for the NSW Government’s $10,000 first home owner grant, as well as other first home buyer schemes.
4. Rose Garden, Kew Schofields
Two-bedroom apartments from $495,000
Address: 23-27 Schofields Road, Schofields NSW 2762
Located in Sydney’s fast-growing north-western corridor, The Rose is positioned moments from Rouse Hill and the future Schofields town centre. Two-bedroom apartments in the project are priced from $495,000, and feature contemporary finishes, barbeque facilities and outdoor communal spaces.
Whilst Schofields may not be the most attractive suburb for the first home buyer, the suburb offers an affordable entry point for a two-bedroom apartment and has seen its population grow by over 30 per cent in the past five years. The median value for both houses and units have steadily risen and will most likely continue to, as the metro links the nearby Tallawong station to Sydney’s CBD.
One-bedroom apartments from $588,000
Address: 396-398 Canterbury Road, Canterbury NSW 2193
AURA offers first home buyers the opportunity to live in the Inner West with entry prices under $600,000. A one-bedroom plus study configuration begins at $588,000 and includes contemporary design, entertainer’s balconies and large courtyards.
Designed by Glyde Architects, AURA includes expansive open district and city skyline views as well as designer stone kitchens and wood texture cabinetry throughout. A security storage cage is available for all residents, making the home a smart decision for owner-occupiers and downsizers.
