Carlton is a uniquely complex rental market driven by the University of Melbourne student population (55,000+ students), a strong professional rental base along Royal Parade and Princes Park corridors, and significant short-stay demand from the Lygon Street tourism precinct. Managing a Carlton investment property requires a property manager with genuine local knowledge of tenant types, lease structures, and the compliance requirements around student tenancies.
