Why Darra Matters for Investors & Home-Buyers

• Growth potential: The strong recent capital growth suggests Darra may be a rising suburb rather than “already peaked”.

• Rental demand: With fairly tight vacancy and yields for units ~4%+, it can appeal to investors.

• Accessibility: Close to the city, with good transport links, making it attractive for commuters and mixed buyers.

• Value trade-off: Compared to more expensive inner-suburbs, Darra may offer more value-entry and upside.
