Glenfield homes and what they need
Glenfield's rentals are mostly 1970s and 80s houses and units, many on cross-leased or subdivided sections. Homes of this age often need underfloor insulation, ground moisture barriers and extractor fans checked against the Healthy Homes Standards, and cross-lease properties can have shared driveways that need clear rules in the tenancy agreement.
Three-bedroom houses, by far the most common rental, had a median of $650 a week. Four-bedroom homes had a median of $750, and two-bedroom flats $500.
