The band between the river and the airport: new apartments in Rivervale, plain houses in Cloverdale and Belmont, Optus Stadium and Crown at the Burswood end. It is not charming, but it is 10 minutes from the city, 10 from the airport, and rent sits below what the location suggests.
Good for
- Location at mid prices
- Frequent flyers and airport workers
- Walking to a game at Optus Stadium
Watch out
Aircraft noise on plenty of streets — check the flight path before choosing an address.
