From the Yarra in Abbotsford to the Swan River in East Perth, this month’s collection pairs waterside outlooks with city-fringe addresses.
Buyers looking to step straight into a new home have plenty of variety to explore this November, with completed apartment developments featuring terrace homes, duplexes and townhouses, offering a broader mix than apartment living alone.

Parkland and garden outlooks, forest-side settings and riverside locations bring a leafy thread to the collection, while inner-city addresses place homes among shops, cafés and dining.
