Location: It is a quiet residential street with no through traffic. Average tenure on the street is 16.1 years, which points to a very stable community, and owner-occupiers make up 63.4% of households.

Location & Street
Dubbo is the regional centre of central-west NSW, providing healthcare, education, government and commercial services to a large agricultural catchment. Demand comes from local employment and regional population inflow, and because the economy does not lean on a single industry it holds up well through the cycle. In our view, this street is exactly the kind of street we like to see: quiet, no through traffic, mostly owner-occupied, and with residents staying more than 16 years on average.
Location grade: B — Owner-occupancy is 63.4%, just under the 70% mark for an A grade. Every other check is clean, and the 16.1-year average tenure is a very good sign for this street.

Surroundings
The property is well served by public amenities, with several schools, hospitals and parks close by. The supermarket is a short drive away. In our experience this mix appeals strongly to families with children and supports steady tenant demand.

Property Condition
Condition Score: 88/100
With a condition score of 88/100, this house is ready to lease as-is. The renovated bathroom is the highlight, with a clean white-tiled finish and a mosaic feature strip, and the kitchen is in good condition with sound cabinetry and benchtop. Carpets in the living areas and bedrooms show light wear, while the tiled floors in the kitchen and bathroom look close to new. The brickwork and tile roof are well maintained with no cracking or water marks. We like this combination of brick, tile and hard-wearing flooring for a long-term rental: it is low maintenance and holds up well.
