Mckinnon

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

FairSquare's model rates Mckinnon, Victoria 7.0 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.

McKinnon presents a strong capital growth opportunity, achieving 10% appreciation over the last year, underpinned by critically low supply and an exceptionally tight 0.8% vacancy rate. This inner-middle ring suburb, 11 kilometres from the CBD, attracts consistent demand from high-calibre tenants and owner-occupiers, ensuring long-term value. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +10.0% puts it ahead of the broader Victoria median. Constrained supply means downward price pressure is structurally limited.
