Local conditions
Homes and conditions in Redfern
In Redfern, 1% of occupied private dwellings are separate houses, 29% are semis, terraces or townhouses, and 68% are flats or apartments.
Most of that work is a wall-mounted or ducted split sized for a single apartment. Where the outdoor unit is allowed to go — a balcony, a wall bracket, or a shared plant deck — is set by the building's by-laws, so that is worth checking before anything is chosen. Older blocks also tend to have limited spare electrical capacity, which can decide the size of the unit for you.
