Average rent in Driver, NT — 2026

Driver is one of the more expensive parts of the Northern Territory to rent in — the typical renter pays $350/week, around 16% above the state median of $301/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 51% are owners or paying a mortgage), and the suburb is mostly separate houses (66%) rather than units. That mix usually means a smaller, slower-turnover rental pool than in inner-city areas at a similar price. The suburb sits 14km from Darwin, with a population of around 2,747 and a median age of 33. The biggest occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. Renters often wait longer here, and inspections fill quickly when stock does come up.
