WHERE CAN I INVEST IN ADELAIDE?

INNER-CITY

Adelaide is a diverse city with a range of different property investment locations and options. As with most of Australia’s capital cities, Adelaide boasts blue-chip inner-ring suburbs where supply is limited and performance is consistently strong. These include Norwood, St Peters, Prospect, Unley and Hyde Park, all of which have reliably doubled in value every decade over the last 30 years.

BEACHES AND HILLS

Adelaide’s location, wedged as it is between the coast and the hills, has created numerous lifestyle locations in striking distance of the city. Beachside suburbs such as Glenelg, Brighton, Seacliff, Henley Beach and Semaphore all lie within 30 minutes of the CBD, while offering a relaxed array of cafes, restaurants and shopping. In the Adelaide Hills, suburbs such as Crafers, Aldgate, Stirling and Bridgewater are leafy, verdant areas filled with beautiful estates and easily accessible to the plains via the South-Eastern Freeway. Moving further out, the townships of Hahndorf, Mount Barker, Nairne and Littlehampton are more affordable, and still enjoy convenience, lifestyle and amenity.

ADELAIDE - NORTH

Moving further out, Adelaide has a mix of suburbs that offer strong investment profiles and excellent affordability. In Adelaide’s north lies the Edinburgh Defence Precinct, a rapidly burgeoning area home to a major RAAF and Australian Army base and extensive defence industry. The Osborne Naval Shipyards, located 25km north-west of the CBD, are Australia’s most advanced shipbuilding facilities and will be responsible for Australia’s major future naval shipbuilding programs. The north has electrified rail running through its spine and will benefit from the construction of the North-South Corridor, a major motorway project. Housing in Adelaide’s north is very affordable compared to most capital city suburbs in Australia with median house prices in the 15-20km middle-ring ranging from $550,000-$650,000. One of our recommended pockets lies in Adelaide’s north-east in the Tea Tree Gully LGA, including suburbs such as Redwood Park, Banksia Park, Modbury Heights and Surrey Downs. This region, nestled between the city and the hills, offer a combination of affluence, convenience, amenity and limited housing supply.

ADELAIDE - SOUTH

Adelaide’s south is experiencing a confluence of positive investment factors, including major infrastructure developments, lifestyle improvements and housing scarcity. Together, they are driving powerful capital growth and rental increases, which has been slowed but not stopped despite aggressive interest rate rises. With constrained land supply due to the southern Adelaide Hills, Adelaide’s south has also benefited from significant transport infrastructure including the duplication of the Southern Expressway, and the electrification and extension of the Seaford Railway. The region also offers an attractive lifestyle proposition of beaches, hills and wineries, with easy access to great ocean beaches, the McLaren Vale wine region and the popular tourist locations of Encounter Bay and Kangaroo Island. Property remains affordable and rental returns are strong, and investors can choose from leafy hills communities including Aberfoyle Park, Happy Valley, Reynella and Sheidow Park, beachside suburbs such as Hallett Cove, Seaford, Moana and Aldinga.
