FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.
FairSquare's model rates Kensington, New South Wales 6.2 out of 10 (Workhorse Investment) as of May 2026.
Kensington offers robust capital growth driven by its strategic inner-city proximity to Sydney's Central Business District and strong demand from high-income tenants. Despite a low gross yield, an exceptionally tight 1.2% vacancy rate, coupled with low supply, underscores enduring tenant demand from established education and health precincts, ensuring consistent long-term appreciation. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +12.5% puts it ahead of the broader New South Wales median.
The median price is derived, not estimated. Every number on this page traces back to the model's proprietary yield surface — calibrated for each part of the country and resolved against distance from CBD. The price falls out of the formula.
