Plympton
Plympton is one of Adelaide's most popular in-between suburbs, sitting in the City of West Torrens between the CBD and the beach. Its mix of established homes on generous blocks and newer townhouses makes it a favourite with young families, first home buyers and investors alike.
Plympton at a glance
Plympton units have more than doubled in median value over the past five years, the strongest unit growth of the three suburbs we profile, while house values have risen by around two thirds. With 173 sales in the past year, it is an active, well-tested market.
Plympton offers the strongest rental yields of our core suburbs, particularly for units, with almost half of homes rented. That combination of yield and growth makes it a popular choice for investors.
