Adelaide real estate remains buoyant as we head into 2026.
So, with continuing property value growth predicted across the city, where is it best to invest?
Investing in Adelaide real estate while demand is still high and property values are still rising is a good move. But buying wisely to ensure you receive good rental yields and long-term value growth is dependent on choosing the right location.
Areas Experiencing High Rental Demand
Focus on locations where tenants are actively seeking rental properties such as in Adelaide’s affordable northern suburbs, particularly Parafield Gardens, Mawson Lakes, Blair Athol and Pooraka. The thriving northern suburbs offer easy north-south commuting, infrastructure development, employment opportunities and education/technology facilities.
Properties Within Growth Corridors
If you’re just getting started with your property portfolio, the northern growth corridor offers affordable investment buying in suburbs such as Elizabeth, Munno Para, Andrews Farm, Salisbury and Angle Vale.
Properties in Elizabeth and Salisbury can fetch strong rental yields, while urban development in Angle Vale, Munno Para and Andrews Farm is attracting tenants and facilitating strong appreciation potential with below average purchase prices.
Consider SA’s “Second City”
Mount Barker is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, and South Australia’s second largest city. This key hub is within commutable distance of the Adelaide CBD while also considered a service centre for the Adelaide Hills. Low property prices combined with strong population growth and fast-growing infrastructure make it an ideal investment opportunity.
City Fringe Suburbs
While positioned with a higher price point, rental properties in close-to-city suburbs such as Prospect and North Adelaide are always in demand for their lifestyle-focused, village-style, local amenities and their CBD proximity.
Klemzig and Plympton boast reasonable city proximity with good amenities, Richmond is also close to the CBD, and leafy Magill on the east side is always in demand by families seeking to rent homes within good school zones.
