No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned General Neighbourhood · GN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,018 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 3 development applications on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Deemed to Satisfy (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made) Latest lodgement recorded 2025-03-20. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $597/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

4 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned General Neighbourhood · GN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 1,018 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 1,018 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Knownmedium

    3 development applications on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Deemed to Satisfy (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made) Latest lodgement recorded 2025-03-20. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material

Listed by Ray White Norwood

A 1,020sqm (approx.) Family Escape Packed with Lifestyle Appeal.

Set on a sweeping 1,020sqm parcel and thoughtfully enhanced over time, this beautifully presented family residence delivers the kind of space, flexibility and lifestyle that's becoming increasingly scarce. Framed by established gardens and designed to make the most of every corner of the allotment, here is a home where indoor-outdoor living, year-round entertaining and everyday comfort come together with impressive results.

Beyond its crisp rendered façade, a welcoming interior unfolds with a relaxing formal lounge before opening into the expansive family heart of the home. Anchored by a spacious kitchen featuring composite stone bench tops, stainless appliances and abundant storage, this social hub is designed to keep company and conversation front and centre. Glass sliders extend the living outdoors to a striking alfresco with rustic bar and BBQ area, creating a space equally suited to family celebrations, lively gatherings or quiet summer evenings with loved ones.

Backed by a bedroom layout that balances comfort with practicality, offering four well-sized rooms, two bathrooms (with laundry combination), and ducted evaporative air conditioning, you'll find a floorplan that functions as good as it feels, while adapting effortlessly to budding families planning for the future to established households after instant liveability from day one.

Read the full description

Step outside and the lifestyle credentials continue to raise the bar. A sizeable workshop flows through to a home gym and custom sauna, while a separate undercover spa area provides the perfect place to rejuvenate at the end of the day. For kids and pets, there's plenty of yard space to explore - from neat lawns to easy-care gardens - as well as a rustic firepit for a winter atmosphere impossible to beat in suburbia.

Secure carport, gated access and dedicated storage for a caravan, boat or camper complete a property where practicality and lifestyle go hand-in-hand. An incredible opportunity made more appealing courtesy of a location that pairs the scenic River Torrens footsteps from your door with nearby shops, schools, a quick zip to bustling TTP and a swift run to Adelaide CBD… this is family living with the space to entertain, relax and grow for years to come.
