Property Management in North Ward
The Strand at the front door, Castle Hill behind and the city a walk away. North Ward is Townsville's best-known address for apartment living, and presentation is everything.
What rentals in North Ward are leasing for
These are the median weekly rents on new leases in North Ward, taken from the bonds lodged with the Residential Tenancies Authority. They cover every rental in the suburb, whoever manages it.

A median is a starting point, not an appraisal. It takes in homes of every age, size and standard, so a well-presented property with the features tenants want can sit well above it, and a tired one below. Where yours sits is what a rental appraisal answers.
Renting in North Ward
North Ward runs along The Strand, Townsville's beachfront, with Castle Hill rising behind it and the CBD within walking distance. Gregory Street has the cafes and restaurants, and the beach, the rock pool and the waterfront path are minutes from most front doors.
It is a suburb of units and apartments more than houses, from older walk-up blocks to modern complexes with sea views. Tenants are often professionals working in the city, medical staff, Defence members and people relocating to Townsville who want to live somewhere they can walk to dinner. They compare several properties before applying, and they notice the details.
How we manage North Ward rentals
In a suburb where a tenant can inspect three similar apartments in one afternoon, how yours is presented decides who applies. We use professional photography and clear, accurate descriptions that lead with the features tenants here ask about most: air conditioning, parking, outlook and distance to The Strand.
We attend every inspection ourselves and never hand out keys. Each showing is a chance to present your property properly and to meet the people applying for it. Units come with their own rules too, such as by-laws, shared areas and parking, and we make sure a new tenant understands them from the first day.
