Average rent in Brighton - Pontville, TAS — 2026

Brighton - Pontville is one of the more expensive parts of Tasmania to rent in — the typical renter pays $350/week, around 19% above the state median of $293/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 80% are owners or paying a mortgage), and the suburb is mostly separate houses (85%) 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 20km from Hobart, with a population of around 6,449 and a median age of 35. The biggest occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. Renters often wait longer here, and inspections fill quickly when stock does come up.
