Three residential sections in one of Hamilton’s rapidly changing suburbs are selling for $199,999 each and are likely to be the cheapest in the city.

Combined they make for a rare 2100 plus square metre site.

It may be a bargain, but only to a seasoned developer - who has the ability and cash to put houses on the hilly section.
