Most Affordable Suburbs to Buy in Metropolitan Adelaide
The ten cheapest suburbs by median house sale price in metropolitan Adelaide. South Australia publishes metropolitan sales only, so this cannot cover the whole state and does not claim to.

How this was decided
- Method
- Suburbs ranked by published median house sale price, lowest first. Modelled prices are not eligible.
- Data source
- SA Department for Housing and Urban Development
- Who was eligible
- Population 1,000+ with a published median sale price. The source series covers metropolitan Adelaide only — regional South Australia is not published and so cannot be ranked.
- How many suburbs were ranked
- 183 suburbs had measured data and met the eligibility rule. Suburbs without measured data were not ranked — they were not scored low, they were left out.
- Independence
- Nobody can buy this award, a place in it, or a change to it. It is computed from public data by a published formula and has no commercial relationship attached.
Why only South Australia?
Because that is where a government publishes the measurement. Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Northern Territory publish neither bond rents nor sale prices per suburb, so no equivalent award can be computed there without inventing the numbers — which would make it worthless.
If that changes, this award widens automatically the next time the data is rebuilt.
