FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.
FairSquare's model rates Newtown, New South Wales 6.3 out of 10 (Workhorse Investment) as of May 2026.
Newtown represents a workhorse investment driven by its prime 4km proximity to the Sydney CBD and critically low 1% vacancy rate. This inner-city scarcity, coupled with high demand and low supply, fuels strong capital appreciation evident in 13.5% twelve-month price growth, offsetting the 2.7% gross yield. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +13.5% 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.
Inputs for this suburb sit at the top of our calibration tier. The model is not guessing.
