Note the local context: Marconi Plaza sits in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood close to the train station and city amenities — excellent for transport and rental demand but likely to bring higher footfall and occasional noise. Crime statistics are above average for the area; buyers should factor this into security and insurance considerations.
Overall this apartment represents a convenient, low-maintenance urban dwelling with clear investment appeal. Internal viewing is recommended to assess condition and layout in person and to confirm suitability for either owner-occupation or letting.
