Fawkner Gentrification Story
Fawkner is at the early stage of the gentrification wave that has transformed Coburg and Brunswick over the past decade. New cafes, renovation activity and demographic change (younger, higher-income renters moving from Coburg overflow) are creating the conditions for a sustained price re-rating over the next 5-10 years. GeeVee rates the gentrification trajectory at 6/10 — early but visible.
