In recent years, Australia has witnessed both triumph and tragedy: from the success of the 2000 Sydney Olympics to the tragedies of the Bali bombings and the tsunami that struck Australia''s neighbours in the Indian Ocean in 2004.

Australia is currently going through a major lifestyle shift. The land of the quarter acre block is increasingly becoming a nation of apartment-buyers, renters and dwellers. Young couples and singles are buying apartments as a way of getting a toehold in the market. Empty-nesters are cashing in their suburban palace for an easier, lower-maintenance residence, closer to the action. But do they know what they''re letting themselves in for? Apartment living can be a dream come true or a nightmare from which there''s no escape, depending on how well you''re prepared before you sign the lease or hand over the mortgage cheque. Apartment Living is a must-have weapon in the war against greedy developers, shoddy builders, unscrupulous real estate agents, inept tradesmen, selfish neighbours and incompetent managers. It combines sound fact with anecdotal evidence - often amusing, occasionally horrifying - to help you become a savvy owner/occupier, investor or tenant. This could be the best real estate investment you''ve ever made.
