Can't really answer your question Ping but I was having a bit of a look there and also in neighbouring Campsie and Belmore. It seems at the moment there is a fair few more units for sale and rent in Lakemba than the other suburbs I mentioned (not quite sure why, could anyone suggest why). I am considering these suburbs because they are pretty much the closest to the city and on a train line I can get for my budget (apart from studios).
