Significant and rapid residential development has occurred in Southbank and the population has skyrocketed. The vast majority of residents live in high-rise apartments, the tallest of which is the 300 metre tall Eureka Tower. The 92-level tower is one of the world’s tallest solely residential buildings.
This is ideal for single professional working in the city or small families. Location is A+ : Transport options, accessibility [ most people just walk to work], entertainment, eating out, etc are all excellent.
This being on the fringe of the CBD makes it accessible yet not as busy as living in the city center itself.
Parks are close by, lots of attractions in the boulevard close by as well.
