GeeVee Verdict
Glen Iris is a reliable wealth-preservation and school zone play. The multiple private school catchments (Camberwell Girls Grammar, Sacre Coeur, Auburn High selective entry) create sustained demand from families that does not disappear in market downturns. Not a yield play. Best for: $2M+ family buyers with 7-10 year horizon.
