Gorge Real Estate Market
Sheltered tidal water, and you can swim in it again.Gorge real estate market values turn on proximity to a waterway that runs through the middle of the region and was cleaned up enough to swim in after decades of neglect.
Gorge Real Estate Market Overview
The Gorge is a tidal inlet running inland from the harbour, with parks along much of it and a reversing current at the narrows that draws people to watch.
Housing along the corridor ranges from older waterfront houses to apartment blocks and post war family homes on the streets behind.
Frontage on the waterway is scarce and priced accordingly. Only so many properties can sit on the water. Those that do trade well above the ones a street back, and the gap has widened as the waterway improved.
