Tennyson has been the star performer for high priced real estate in Adelaide’s western suburbs this year – with half of the top 10 listings coming from the suburb.
Martin Real Estate director Colin Martin said it was not surprising that Tennyson was such a strong performer.
“It’s the most tightly held coastal pocket of real estate in the state,” he said.
“There isn’t anywhere else that offers the same opportunities Tennyson offers – living right on the beach front and being so close to the CBD.”
Toop&Toop sales partner James Campbell said there was good interest in Tennyson from eastern suburbs residents wanting a sea-change.
“As well as being right on the beachfront, Tennyson is so close to other popular suburbs like Henley Beach and Grange,” he said.
Booth & Booth Real Estate sales partner Jamie Brown said while in the past, buyers tended to look for beach homes on the Fleurieu Peninsula, in areas such as Port Elliot or Victor Harbor, they were now looking closer to Adelaide.
“With lifestyles being so busy, people are buying beach houses locally,” he said.
Mr Brown said Tennyson, Henley Beach and Grange were consistent performers and would continue to set the pace for western sales.
Here are the top 10 most expensive sales out west in 2020.
