430 Queen Street, Auckland Central, Auckland City

Among the cheapest freehold two bedders in the city, this 49m² apartment stands out for one big reason — it’s one of the largest configurations in Volt, offering 9m² more than the standard layout. That’s a serious point of difference in a 417-unit complex, especially when it comes time to sell or rent.

Positioned on Queen Street with a private deck, the layout is compact but practical. Two separate bedrooms, functional open-plan living, and a footprint that banks will back. It’s ideal for those looking to maximise rental yield without the hassle of oversized maintenance costs.

Built by Conrad Properties — New Zealand’s largest apartment developer — Volt is known for its investor appeal. Scale is the secret here. With 417 units, your share of body corporate levies is kept lean, and maintenance costs are spread wide. This is exactly why so many experienced investors and number-driven buyers choose to buy here.

And the returns stack up. This apartment is currently rented at $550 per week, with scope to push that figure higher in today’s market. Low outgoings, strong demand from students and hospitality workers, and constant turnover make Volt a proven performer for cashflow.

Location-wise, Volt is at the centre of Auckland’s $133 million midtown regeneration. The new CRL station at Aotea Square, the Convention Centre, and growing hospitality demand mean more jobs, more foot traffic, and higher tenant demand. Plus, it’s a short walk to both AUT and the University of Auckland.

Whether you're investing for cashflow, buying for your kids, or getting on the ladder yourself, this is sharp buying in a complex where the numbers just work.
