Cheltenham Property Management Solutions Expert

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Rentals are a minority in Cheltenham. The 2021 Census counted 20.8% of its homes as rented, under South Australia’s 27.6%, while 41.0% were held with a mortgage and 35.8% outright. So a well-kept Cheltenham rental is one of a fairly small number in the suburb at any time.

Axiom Realty works right across Greater Adelaide. On Cheltenham’s doorstep we have leased a house in St Clair and sold one in Woodville North, so this corner of the City of Charles Sturt is familiar ground.

Amir showed us a house that was under construction in November of 2020. He followed up with us always. There was very good communication. He was available till the hand over of the keys. I would recommend Amir and Axiom Realty for your real estate needs.

Managing Cheltenham Houses and Townhouses

Two-bedroom homes, strata and upkeep

Cheltenham was laid out in 1849, and in 1923 Holden Motor Body Builders set up the body works later called the Holden Woodville Plant inside its boundaries. Today the suburb is mostly houses: 80.5% of dwellings in 2021, with townhouses or semi-detached homes at 17.4% and very few flats.

Small homes stand out here. Two-bedroom dwellings were 27.3% of Cheltenham’s stock at the Census, against 18.0% across the state. In a compact home the kitchen, bathroom and storage carry the rent, so those rooms get extra attention on our quarterly visits. All four routine inspections each year come with photographs, and our notes flag anything that will grow dearer if it waits.

With a strata or community-titled townhouse, the first question on any repair is who owns the fault. Anything on common property goes to the corporation’s manager, and the scheme’s by-laws are handed to every incoming tenant. We pay levy notices, Charles Sturt rates and SA Water out of your rent, with no surcharge added.

Thinking of a carport, a second storey or a granny flat? Consent may be required under the Planning and Design Code; check your Cheltenham address on PlanSA. We tell you when a job might need approval, before any tradesperson starts. Our residential property management page explains how everything else works.

Who Rents in Cheltenham

Rail commuters, health workers and your return

The Outer Harbor line splits Cheltenham in two. Cheltenham station on Railway Terrace is 9.2 km from Adelaide station, with St Clair and Alberton the next stops each way, and 4.1% of working residents caught a train to work at the 2021 Census. Statewide, the figure was 0.6%. For a tenant who works in the city or at Port Adelaide, that walk to the platform counts.

Household types vary. Lone-person households were 32.0% of Cheltenham households, above South Australia’s 28.5%, and 42.2% of Cheltenham families were couples raising children. Professionals (22.3%) and clerical and administrative workers (16.1%) led the occupations, and the top industry was hospitals, on 6.6%.

So two kinds of rental do well: a two-bedroom home for a single person or a couple, and a three-bedroom house for a family. A bedroom on the quiet side, away from Port Road or the tracks, and an easy walk to St Clair Village and its Coles, give a tenant reasons to renew rather than move.

Own in a neighbouring suburb? See our property management pages for St Clair, Albert Park, Rosewater, Alberton and Woodville North. Rent is paid out to you twice in every week, and owners outside SA can read about interstate management.
