Most Popular Suburbs for International Students in Sydney
Welcome back international students!
February 21 marks the first day our international border reopens and as we welcome back international tourists, professionals and students coming down under, we brace for a surge in demand for rental properties and apartments.
Buyers with an “investive” mind and look for long-term growth have been eyeing this opportunity for a while, amid a wide price gap between houses and units, record low vacancy rates and a blossoming rental market.
Today we take a look at the most popular suburbs to live in among international students in Sydney.
