Smithfield, 28 kilometres from Adelaide's CBD, presents as a robust "workhorse" investment opportunity, evidenced by its exceptionally low 1% vacancy rate. This indicates persistent tenant demand in an affordable outer-north location, contributing to the suburb's strong 12.5% capital growth over the past year. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +12.5% puts it ahead of the broader South Australia median.
