Common questions
By published median house price, the cheapest Greater Darwin suburbs of 1,000 or more residents are Moulden ($380,000), Gray ($390,000) and Woodroffe ($427,000). Prices for the Northern Territory are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians: each is the median for the area that carries the suburb's name. An SA2 can take in surrounding localities, so a figure can differ from sales in the suburb itself. A suburb is listed only when its own page publishes the median, and the ranking is drawn from 22 suburbs with one.
Of the 15 Greater Darwin suburbs at the top of this ranking, seven have a published median house price under $500,000: Moulden ($380,000), Gray ($390,000), Woodroffe ($427,000), Karama ($435,000), Driver ($457,500), Wagaman ($470,000) and Bakewell ($484,500). Prices for the Northern Territory are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians: each is the median for the area that carries the suburb's name. An SA2 can take in surrounding localities, so a figure can differ from sales in the suburb itself. A median is the middle sale, so half of a suburb's houses sold for less than it.
These ABS medians come without a 12-month change, so none is printed or ranked here. Prices for the Northern Territory are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians: each is the median for the area that carries the suburb's name. An SA2 can take in surrounding localities, so a figure can differ from sales in the suburb itself. So this page cannot say whether the cheapest suburbs rose or fell over the last year; it ranks them on the level of the median alone. The suburb pages keep each median as it is republished, which is the honest way to follow a cheap suburb's price over time.
We do not predict which suburbs will boom, and we hold no growth figure to rank Darwin suburbs on: the medians we publish for the Northern Territory are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians for 2024, and they come without a 12-month change. A figure beside a suburb here is a median, a rent, a yield, a walk score or a school ICSEA, each measured and sourced, never a forecast. Each suburb's own page shows its published median and says where it comes from.
