Kogarah offers a workhorse investment underpinned by strong structural demand from its strategic St George Hospital precinct and excellent transport links, 14km from the Sydney CBD. This drives exceptional tenant retention, reflected in a 1.1% vacancy rate, and has delivered 10.5% price growth over the past year, making it an attractive proposition despite the 2.3% gross yield. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +10.5% puts it ahead of the broader New South Wales median.
