Common questions
By walk score, the most walkable Greater Adelaide suburbs of 1,000 or more residents are Adelaide (100 out of 100), Beulah Park (100 out of 100) and Brighton (100 out of 100). The score counts the shops, services, transport stops and pedestrian infrastructure within walking distance of the suburb's centre, from OpenStreetMap; 90 and above is exceptional. The ranking is drawn from 292 suburbs with a score.
Six of the ten suburbs on this page have a published median house price, from $987,500 in Exeter to $1,860,000 in Glenelg East. Prices are the SA Government's quarterly suburb medians. A dash in the table means the suburb's own page publishes no median, because its source is distrusted or it rests on fewer than five recorded sales.
We do not predict which suburbs will boom, and a rise over the last 12 months says what happened, not what will. What we can show is measured. Among the suburbs on this page, the largest measured rises over the last 12 months were Glenelg East (+9.4%), Exeter (+7.9%) and Beulah Park (+0.6%). The change is the 12-month movement in the median house price on the same sales as the median, for the latest published quarter (updated October 2026), and a change beyond 25% is left out as a small-sample artefact. The SA growth ranking, linked below, lists every suburb with a measured change.
