For investors

Investment overview.

Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.31% (median rent $350/wk against a $550,000 price tag). Units yield 3.41% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (12%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
