Ridgehaven Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Ridgehaven has more units than its quiet streets suggest. At the 2021 Census, 20.5% of occupied homes were flats or apartments, about three times the 6.8% recorded for South Australia as a whole. Separate houses accounted for 73.4%. Rented homes were 21.8% of the total.

That gives you two kinds of investment in one suburb: a three-bedroom house for a family, or a smaller unit for a single person or a couple. Axiom Realty manages rentals across the north-east and has leased a house in Ridgehaven, and you can trial our management for 100 days with no lock-in.

Managing Houses and Units in Ridgehaven

1960s houses, strata groups and retirement living

Development in Ridgehaven began in the 1950s and most of its houses went up in the 1960s. Homes of that age tend to need attention to roofs, gutters, wet areas and wiring, and a small fault left for a year becomes a costly one. Every routine inspection, four a year, ends in a photo report so you can see what is wearing.

Many Ridgehaven units belong to strata or community title groups. When a fault turns up on common property, we take it up with the group’s manager, and every tenant receives a copy of the by-laws. Strata levies, council rates and water bills come straight out of the rent, with no surcharge for handling them.

The suburb also has retirement living, and at the Census 6.3% of homes fell in the ‘other tenure’ group, which covers life tenure schemes. Those homes sit outside the rental pool, so the supply of rentals is a little smaller than the unit count implies.

Some changes to a property need a development approval, and the PlanSA Code viewer shows the rules that apply to your address. Should a job look like it needs one, we raise it with you before anyone is booked. Our residential property management page covers the rest of what we do.

Who Rents in Ridgehaven

Tenants, buses and your rental income

Ridgehaven’s households are a mix. At the 2021 Census, 31.6% were one person living alone, couples without children were 43.0% of families and one-parent families 17.4%. The largest occupation groups were professionals at 19.5% and technicians and trades workers at 16.0%.

Public transport counts for more here than in many outer suburbs. On Census day, 8.5% of employed residents took a bus to work, against 3.1% statewide, and the O-Bahn busway starts at the Tea Tree Plaza Interchange next door in Modbury. For a tenant without a second car, a unit near a bus stop is an easy choice.

Hospitals and aged care residential services were the two biggest employing industries for residents, and Modbury Hospital is close by in Modbury. Shift workers value a short trip to work and secure parking, and a tenant whose commute works is a tenant more likely to renew.

We manage homes nearby in Modbury, Modbury North, Modbury Heights, St Agnes and Redwood Park. Rent lands in your account in two payouts each week, and owners based outside SA can learn how our interstate management works.

Common Ridgehaven Property Management FAQs

Have a Question?

Each has its own tenant. At the 2021 Census, 73.4% of Ridgehaven homes were separate houses and 20.5% flats or apartments, and 31.6% of households were one person. Units suit singles and couples, while houses suit families. We price either one against current listings nearby.

It helps many tenants. The shopping centre and the O-Bahn interchange sit together in Modbury, just over the suburb’s boundary, and O-Bahn buses run from there to the city. We describe the trip in the listing because applicants ask.

Yes. We liaise with the group’s manager, pass on any fault in the shared areas, settle levies out of the rent without an added fee and give every tenant the by-laws at the start of the lease.

We keep our pricing simple and transparent: an all-inclusive management fee with no admin charges or hidden extras. We’ll give you a written quote for your property, with every cost set out before you sign.
