This suggests a market skewed towards owner-occupied properties rather than rentals, though the exact proportion of rental units is not specified.

Buyers should consider the proximity to amenities and transport links, which may offset the area’s compact nature. The presence of nearby schools and retail options could make it attractive to families, but the small footprint means competition for properties may be intense.
