Where can you find three-bedroom apartments in Canberra?
Larger apartments with three bedrooms – or more – are in demand, many with price tags that shade those for detached homes.
Justin Taylor, who lists pictured $1 million+ penthouse in Braddon’s Lonsdale Street, says apartments with three bedrooms also tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
A recent Allhomes search identified some 140 three-bedroom apartments for sale in the ACT, from about $300,000 to more than $2 million.
“You tend to find the luxury ones as penthouses or sub-penthouses in quality developments, whether that be here in Braddon, or places like the Kingston Foreshore or Campbell’s C5,” Taylor says.
“They are very popular with empty nesters or retirees who want to downsize, but not downgrade.”
“An option for those looking for a new three-bedroom apartment is to approach developers really early, off the plan. They may well be able to combine spaces to deliver a larger floor plan,” he says.
Apartment specialist Boris Teodorowych, of Boris Property, says many downsizers search for bigger apartments well ahead of their need to move.
“They often purchase early and rent out the properties until they are ready to downsize,” he says.
“Their need for extra space is really driven by a very natural desire to be able to invite family and friends to comes and stay.”
Teodorowych says buyers looking for these larger, luxury apartments – with price tags that can hit $2.5 million or more – are also driven by location, views and proximity to amenities such as cafes and restaurants.
- Penthouse. Luxury living that offers at least three bedrooms can usually be found on the penthouse or sub-penthouse levels of quality developments in sought-after locations such as Braddon, Kingston Foreshore and Campbell’s C5.
- Off the plan. Developers may consider combining spaces to create larger floor plans during the off-the-plan phase of new projects. Additional charges may apply and there will be new price tags.
