Novar Gardens is a small, quiet suburb on the western side of Morphett Road, between the Glenelg golf course and the airport. It is popular with families and long-term owners who want to be close to Glenelg without the beachside price tag.
The median house value is $1,309,860, up 72.5% over five years, and units sit at $734,563 after more than doubling. Only 31 properties sold in the past 12 months, so good homes are rarely on the market.
Houses rent for a median $725 a week, a gross yield of about 2.9%. Rental stock is thin, with most homes owner-occupied.
Our team at Ray White Glenelg | Brighton sells and leases homes across Novar Gardens and the surrounding suburbs every week. We can tell you what buyers are paying, how long homes are taking to sell and what your property could rent for.
Most of the suburb was subdivided from the old Morphett Estate from 1966, so the housing is largely late 1960s and 1970s brick homes on generous blocks. Many have been renovated or replaced with new two-storey homes. Units and small groups are limited, so most sales are houses. Cummins House, John Morphett's home on Sheoak Avenue, is a reminder of its farming past.
Immanuel College is on Morphett Road, and Glenelg Golf Club sits on the western side. Sport is close by at Camden Oval and the Camden Sports Complex. Anzac Highway gives a straight run to the city or down to Glenelg, and Adelaide Airport is a few minutes away.
