Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $300; three-bedroom bonds $400. One-bedroom bonds sat at $260 a week. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $450 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $308 and $430 a week. Fair Trading recorded 283 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $285 to $390 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 451 and violent-related offences 317.
