Which Adelaide suburbs we manage
The suburb groups Aurea works in, what each one rents to, and how the year runs in each.
The eastern suburbs are the core service area
Norwood, Kensington, Beaumont, Glenside, Felixstow, Payneham and Magill are the core of Aurea's service area. The homes here are family houses and townhouses, and the guests booking them are families visiting Adelaide, people on medical stays near the eastern hospitals, corporate travellers and event visitors. Three and four bedroom homes with parking do best, because they match the groups the area draws. Demand runs year-round rather than in one season, so the calendar does not rest on summer. There is more on this group on the Norwood page.
The inner north sells out first on school holiday weekends
Prospect, Nailsworth, Walkerville, Medindie, Fitzroy, Bowden and Brompton make up the inner north. The stock is townhouses and renovated homes, close to the city and to North Adelaide. Guests are corporate travellers, people relocating to Adelaide, medical stays and families. This is the group that sells out first on school holiday weekends. There is more on this group on the Prospect page.
The inner south runs on the same year-round shape as the east
Unley, Hyde Park, Malvern, Parkside, Mitcham and Westbourne Park sit in the inner south. Character homes and townhouses are the usual property type. Guests are families, corporate travellers and event visitors, much the same mix as the eastern suburbs. Demand holds through the year rather than peaking in one season, so the inner south runs on the same shape as the east.
The city beaches are a summer market
Glenelg, Henley Beach, Grange, Semaphore and Largs Bay are the city beaches Aurea covers. Demand is strong through summer and quieter through winter, which is the pattern a year at the beach is planned around. Two to four bedroom homes and apartments suit the market. Three night minimums apply over summer, so single nights do not break up dates that longer bookings would fill. There is more on this group on the Glenelg page and the Brighton page.
Hills and Fleurieu homes run short stay in summer and mid-term through winter
Hahndorf, Stirling, Port Noarlunga, Aldinga and Normanville are seasonal locations, and Aurea runs them on two settings. From October to February the home is let as a short stay at holiday rates. From March to September it takes mid-term placements of two weeks to three months, and that second half of the year is what makes these homes work across a full year. Owner summer use is capped at one to two weeks, because summer is where the year is earned in these locations. There is more on this group on the Stirling page.
In the CBD and North Adelaide the body corporate decides
In the Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide the properties are apartments and townhouses. Demand comes from corporate travellers through the week and from event visitors across the year. The first thing to check is the body corporate, because a by-law prohibiting short-term letting rules the property out whatever the apartment is like. Where short stay is allowed, the CBD holds demand through the year. There is more on this group on the Adelaide CBD page.
What sits outside the service area
Aurea does not manage properties interstate. Within South Australia, coverage stops at the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu, so regional properties beyond those areas sit outside the service area. Keeping the map tight is what allows every home to be inspected in person after a stay. If a property sits outside these suburbs, it is worth saying so at the first enquiry rather than later.
