Описание: Everyone’s piling into the wrong side of Ballarat — and it’s costing them that golden Bitcoin nugget.

Welcome back to the Worth It? series, where we put two suburbs head-to-head and crown the winner.

In this episode, we break down Soldiers Hill vs Alfredton — two very different pockets of Ballarat, two very different strategies, and only one can take the crown.

This isn’t about hype or headlines.
It’s about data, scarcity, lifestyle context, and long-term strategy.

Inside this breakdown:
• Heritage scarcity vs suburban scale
• Yield vs capital preservation
• Buyer and renter demand heat
