Ask GeeVee: Box Hill Verdict
GeeVee says: Box Hill is one of Melbourne’s best unit and blocks-of-units plays. The Metropolitan Activity Centre designation means more density, more demand, and long-term capital growth from rezoning. Units at 5.1% and blocks of units at 5.8% provide strong income while you wait for growth.
