Burnside

FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.

FairSquare's model rates Burnside, South Australia 7.1 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.

Burnside, a premium market just 8km from the CBD with a median price of $1744K, offers investors robust capital appreciation, evidenced by 12% price growth in the last year. Critically low supply and exceptional demand result in a tight rental market, maintaining an ultra-low vacancy rate of 0.7% for high-calibre tenants. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +12.0% puts it ahead of the broader South Australia median. Depth of owner-occupier demand creates a reliable price floor through cycle downturns.
