Average rent in Virginia, NT — 2026

Virginia is one of the more expensive parts of the Northern Territory to rent in — the typical renter pays $370/week, around 23% above the state median of $301/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 67% are owners or paying a mortgage), and the suburb is mostly separate houses (79%) 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 22km from Darwin, with a population of around 3,197 and a median age of 41. The biggest occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. Renters often wait longer here, and inspections fill quickly when stock does come up.
