Average rent in Parafield Gardens, SA — 2026

Parafield Gardens sits close to the South Australia median, with renters typically paying $300/week — within striking distance of the state-wide $283/week baseline (ABS Census 2021). The suburb is largely owner-occupied: 68% of households own outright or with a mortgage, and only 28% rent. Housing stock is dominated by separate houses (89%), giving the suburb a settled, family-oriented character that's reflected in the median age of 36 and a population of around 18,467. The most common occupation is Labourers, and 41% of residents were born overseas. 16km from Adelaide, Parafield Gardens is the kind of mid-market suburb that usually sees stable rent trajectories rather than rapid spikes — though state rent indices since 2021 are worth checking against your reported figure above.
