Property Advert of the Week: Beverly Crescent, Penshurst subdivision (1971)

In 1971, Penshurst was a well developed suburb, but I came across an old advertisement from The St George and Sutherland Shire Leader promoting the sale of six lots of land in Beverly Crescent.

All lots were sold for $16250 each, equivalent to around $182 000 in todays money according to the RBA Inflation Calculator.

Property Advert of the Week: Vista Court, Penshurst (1967)

This week's property advertisement sees us head up just two stops on the Illawarra Rail Line to Penshurst. Funny enough it's just two years later - 1967. For 6450 pounds or just under $13, 000 would snap up a "big" two bedroom unit in Vista Court at 30 Jersey Street. The "big" is emphasised because I think they may not be big enough by today's standards.
