What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 922 m² against a 211 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Somerton Park (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,139/m² of land (n=78). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

What could make it worth less?

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

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $560/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • 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.

The kitchen is spacious and visually striking, featuring quality timber cabinetry, a mosaic tile backsplash, and neutral countertops-perfect for any home chef. Equipped with 900mm stainless steel appliances, including a 5-burner gas stovetop with rangehood, oven, and smeg dishwasher, it accommodates both gourmet cooking and everyday meal prep with ease. A large pantry, designated fridge and microwave nooks, along with a breakfast bar, add to the kitchen's versatility. The dining area comfortably seats the whole family, while the living space, complete with a split system air conditioner, is ideal for entertaining guests year-round.

To the right of the entry, a short hallway leads to the first three bedrooms, each featuring radiata pine floors, ample windows that let in plenty of natural light, and ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning. The master bedroom boasts a walk-in robe, while bedroom three offers a spacious built-in robe, providing ample storage space.

These bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom, conveniently located at the beginning of the hallway. The bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a spa bath, walk-in shower, vanity, toilet, and a handy washing machine nook.

Bedrooms 4 and 5 are located off the main living area. Bedroom 4 is exceptionally spacious, designed as a teenage retreat, and positioned on the side of the home with direct access to the carport. A large built-in robe provides ample storage and acts as a partition, creating a private lounge area within the room. It also features a split system air conditioner for added comfort. Bedroom 5, which can also serve as a study, includes a built-in desk and ample shelving, making it a versatile space for work or relaxation.

A second bathroom/laundry is located on the side of the home, featuring a large walk-in shower, vanity, washing machine nook and a separate toilet. With direct outdoor access, this bathroom is ideal for guests during entertaining or for convenient use after a swim in the pool.

If the interior hasn't already impressed you, step outside to discover one of the home's standout features: the outdoor kitchen/retreat. Recently used as an Airbnb, this space includes a fully-equipped kitchen, a split system air conditioner, built-in cupboards, and a breakfast bar with a gas-strut servery window that opens to the pool area. The adjoining verandah, featuring pull-down blinds, adds to the charm and can also serve as an outdoor lounge area complete with large wall-hung TV bracket and points. The home's second bathroom is accessible through an adjacent door. This allows for a separate-entry, self-contained space to be created with just a few simple changes, suitable for Airbnb use. This additional dwelling is also perfect for visiting family and friends, older children, or grandparents.

The backyard is a beautiful retreat, featuring a paved undercover entertaining area that overlooks a lush, grassy expanse perfect for children and pets to play. The yard is framed by a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees, including a sizable lemon tree that adds both vibrancy and plenty of fresh fruit to the space. An in-ground fiberglass, saltwater, solar-heated pool provides a refreshing escape during the warmer months and promises endless entertainment for gatherings and celebrations.

For secure vehicle storage, there's a single garage on the right side of the home, along with a spacious carport on the left that can comfortably fit 2 small cars. Both areas are covered and equipped with roller doors. Additionally, there is plenty of extra driveway space available if required. The double driveway can function as a circular drive, allowing you to always exit headfirst without the need to reverse.

Additional features of the home include a 1000L rainwater tank, two garden sheds for storing tools or gardening supplies, and a pool robot for easy maintenance.

What truly sets this home apart is its prime location. It's conveniently close to well-regarded schools, including Sacred Heart College, Warradale Primary School, Paringa Park Primary School, Our Lady of Grace School, and is also within the highly sought after Brighton High School zone. Just minutes from Somerton Beach, Glenelg, and Brighton Jetty Road, and a short drive to Westfield Marion, where you'll find shopping, cafes, and restaurants. Hove Train Station and the Brighton Road tram stop provide easy access to the Adelaide CBD. More than just a residence, this is a lifestyle opportunity not to be missed!
