Kilkenny Property Management Solutions

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

For a small suburb, Kilkenny has a lot of tenants. They occupied 31.5% of its homes on Census night 2021, ahead of the statewide 27.6%, and the housing mix was broad: 65.9% detached houses, 21.6% townhouses or semi-detached homes and 11.5% flats or apartments.

That variety means rent has to be set property by property. A two-bedroom townhouse a short walk from Kilkenny station and a three-bedroom house in a side street compete for quite different applicants. Axiom Realty, which leases and sells homes over much of metropolitan Adelaide, has let a house over the boundary in St Clair. Before we suggest a rent for your Kilkenny home, we line it up against comparable homes currently advertised.

Caring for Kilkenny Rentals

Townhouses, older houses and strata schemes

Roughly a third of Kilkenny dwellings are townhouses, semi-detached homes or flats, and many belong to strata or community schemes. With those, we stay in contact with the scheme manager, send common-property problems their way and supply every tenant with the by-laws. Levies, Charles Sturt council rates and water bills can all be settled from the rent, free of any admin surcharge.

The suburb has a long past. Kilkenny began as a township subdivided in 1849, and its boundaries now take in the former Challa Gardens, subdivided in 1950. Homes from different eras stand side by side, so two neighbouring rentals can need quite different care. Our property managers inspect four times yearly and send photos with each report, so you always know the state of the home you own.

Kilkenny straddles Torrens Road where Regency Road joins it, and the Outer Harbor and Grange railway lines pass through, so some homes sit close to main roads or the rail corridor. Describing the position honestly in the advertisement saves time with applicants who want a quieter street.

Some alterations to a Kilkenny home need consent under the state’s planning code; look the lot up on PlanSA to see which rules apply. Where a job might need consent, you hear it from us before any trade is engaged. For everything else included, visit our residential property management overview.

The Kilkenny Tenant Mix

Varied households and what they mean for income

Kilkenny’s households are diverse. On Census night 2021, 28.6% were one person living alone and 5.4% were group households, and one-parent families made up 21.8% of families, above 16.6% for the state. Two-bedroom dwellings were 30.6% of the stock against 18.0% statewide, which fits the many small households.

Many residents were born overseas. Behind Australia, Kilkenny’s most common birthplaces were Vietnam (7.4%), India (4.3%) and Italy (3.0%), and English was the only home language for 54.7% of people. More local workers were employed in cafés and restaurants (5.4%) than in any other industry.

Transport is a strong point for tenants. Kilkenny station, about six kilometres out from Adelaide station, takes Grange, Outer Harbor and Port Dock trains, and 3.8% of local workers rode the rail to work in 2021, more than six times the 0.6% recorded across the state. Arndale shopping centre is also in the suburb, at Torrens, Hanson and Regency roads. Being close to either is worth stating clearly in the listing.

Have a Question?

Each has its market. Kilkenny had 30.6% of homes with two bedrooms in 2021, and 28.6% of households were people living alone, which supports smaller homes. Houses suit families, including the suburb’s many one-parent families. We price each against similar homes listed close by.

For many tenants it does. The station is on the Outer Harbor and Grange lines, and the share of Kilkenny workers commuting by train was well above the state figure at the 2021 Census. A short walk to the platform deserves a mention in the advertisement.

Yes. Photo reports follow each routine inspection, rent comes through in two weekly payouts, and your PropertyMe owner portal holds statements you can open around the clock. Rates and SA Water are paid from rent.
