Top growth suburbs in the Adelaide Hills for living (and investing)


Experts have anointed Adelaide’s property market as ‘red hot’ in terms of price growth. With our eastern neighbours (Sydney and Melbourne) dipping, Adelaide is now a front-runner in the nation’s property landscape. And guess what two suburbs have come in the top five most-searched suburbs in AustraliaCrafers West and Aldinga

Given that we’re seeing the highest recorded increase in dwellings out of all capital cities, South Australia is fast becoming an investment hot-spot. In particular, real estate in the Adelaide Hills. And while our darling region has always been popular, it’s attracting even more families in the past few years.

If you’re thinking of making the move or already live in the Hills and would like to invest (or switch suburbs), you’ll smile knowing the region is on the rise. While best known for its community and laid-back atmosphere, there are many more pros, living in the Adelaide Hills.
