Question 1

Is O'Halloran Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

O'Halloran Hill is a leafy, semi-rural suburb in Adelaide's southern foothills centred on O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park, with native scrub and walking trails that give the neighbourhood a strong outdoors feel. Properties range from established family homes to larger rural-residential blocks, so gardens and open space are part of its character rather than terrace living. The community is weighted towards couple families — together they make up just over four in five families — and most homes are owner-occupied (81.8%), so it will suit people after a quieter, bushland setting while remaining near Flagstaff Hill, Happy Valley and suburban services.

Everyday convenience has been strengthened by major transport works, including the Majors Road Interchange now open, new ramps to the Southern Expressway, improved traffic controls for access to the Sam Willoughby International BMX Facility and the recreation park, an underpass for the Patrick Jonker Veloway and about 1.8 km of shared use path and cycle improvements. Local upgrades include a redeveloped Paul Murray Recreation Centre, a $300,000 commitment to Serpentine Reserve and a Majors Road pump track. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you value in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in O'Halloran Hill?

Accepted Answer

A median house price of $880,000 in O'Halloran Hill works out to about 10.9 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes on these figures.

If you're renting, a house at $610 a week would take roughly 39% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, so rent would be an important number to consider if you plan to rent rather than buy. Whether those ratios feel 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 O'Halloran Hill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months in O'Halloran Hill, house rents rose 7.4% while median house values increased 3.5%. The rent gain was a solid rise and the change in house values was more modest.

If you're weighing O'Halloran Hill up as an investment, those two house figures separate income from capital growth: rental income from houses increased faster than house prices did this year, so rents were the stronger performer. Which of those outcomes matters most will depend on your own goals and circumstances.
