Property Advert of the Week: 19 Evla Street, Strathfield (1971)

At Strathfield, there is a three or four-level unit block that backs onto Raw Square. If you drive on this road regularly, you may not notice it.

This week, the unit block at 19 Evla Street will feature in our Property Advert of the Week. It is just one block from Strathfield Station and the shopping centre. 

Below is a 1971 newspaper advertisement promoting two-bedroom apartments for sale starting at $17,900. According to the RBA Inflation Calculator, that would equate to spending $ 232,000 today, well below the median unit price of $717 500 according to realestate.com.au
