Things You Should Know

Car-dependent

Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.

Limited tenant pool

Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.

Weak transport upside

Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
