Houses and units
Houses. Miranda, Yowie Bay and Kareela-edge streets hold 1960s–80s brick-veneer homes. The classic layout is a bathroom with a bath under the shower and a separate toilet beside it — ideal for combining into one better room. See small bathrooms.
Units. Walk-ups and newer apartments around the Miranda town centre and rail line. Strata approval comes first, then lift or stair logistics and restricted hours.

- A walk-in shower replacing the bath-over-shower.
