Is Mallala a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mallala is a small country town on the Adelaide Plains surrounded by wide agricultural paddocks and a compact township. The main street has essential shops and community facilities, and the town supports active sporting clubs and regular local events. Surrounding properties range from modest cottages to farmhouses and larger hobby blocks, and the Mallala Motorsport Park brings occasional crowds and a lively weekend atmosphere.

About 1,042 people live in Mallala and the median age is 37. Families are dominated by couples, and roughly three in four households are owner-occupied either outright or with a mortgage. With its rural setting, local clubs and nearby shops, Mallala suits people looking for a quieter rural lifestyle with easy road access to larger regional centres; whether it fits you comes down to the pace of life and community you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mallala?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Mallala works out to about 8.4 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census. With a median house price of $670,000 and a Census median household income of $1,537 a week (about $79,924 a year), that multiple places buying well above what local households earned at the last Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Mallala a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Houses in Mallala recorded a strong 10.4% rise in median value over the past 12 months, a large increase in what a house here is worth. That movement is the capital growth shown for houses over the year.

There isn't enough recent data for units or for rents to show how those parts of the market moved, so these figures mainly speak to house capital growth rather than rental income or unit performance. Whether that fits your investment goals depends on your objectives and circumstances.
