Whilst there is not one specific reason why a suburb would have relatively low price despite proximity to the CBD, experts say that factors like being placed near industrial parks; having relatively low socioeconomics in the area; being close to an airport or under a flight path; and the nature of the housing stock can have an effect on dwelling prices.
