Question 1

Is Modbury North a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Modbury North is an established north-eastern Adelaide suburb with practical, family-oriented residential streets. The housing mix leans to older single-family homes with a steady wave of infill and renovations, so you get established gardens alongside newer builds. Local life centres on neighbourhood parks, sporting ovals and small shopping strips, while the larger retail and transport hub at Tea Tree Plaza and the O-Bahn corridor is within easy reach. It suits families and downsizers who want a quiet suburban rhythm with straightforward access to community facilities and schools.

The suburb is a community of 5,704 people with a median age of 40 and a median household income of $1,596 a week. Most homes are owner-occupied and couple families make up the majority of households, which gives the area a settled, residential feel. Council activity is focused on local parks and reserves, including proposals around Kimberley Reserve and a proposed playground for Coolabah Reserve, and there has been local road pavement work completed on Milne Road.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Modbury North?

Accepted Answer

Buying is notably stretched against local incomes in Modbury North: the median house price of $906,500 is about 10.9 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census. Renting a house also takes a large share of income, with a weekly house rent of $650 equal to roughly 40.7% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census. On these figures, both buying and renting sit above what a typical local household earned at the last Census; whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

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 Modbury North a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Modbury North climbed 17.3%, a strong rise, while the rent those houses earn increased 4.8%, a modest gain. The figures therefore show capital growth outpaced rental income growth over the year, so buyers focused on price appreciation would point to the value movement, and those prioritising rental income would look to the smaller rent rise. Whether that pattern suits your goals and circumstances is for you to judge.
