Upper Sturt Property Management
Property Management By Investors, For Investors
Upper Sturt is a Mount Lofty Ranges suburb divided between the City of Mitcham to the west and the Adelaide Hills Council to the east. Separate houses accounted for 98.0% of its occupied homes at the 2021 Census, and rentals for only 6.2%.
Leases here are uncommon, and the people seeking one tend to be families wanting room and a bush setting. Axiom Realty leases, manages and sells across Greater Adelaide, and an Upper Sturt house needs a plan built around its land, the weather and the fire season.

Managing a Hills Home in Upper Sturt
Bushfire, water and upkeep
Bushfire is the first thing to plan for. The National Parks and Wildlife Service carries out a series of prescribed burns in the area, aimed at reducing the risk of bushfires reaching Upper Sturt and the homes along Upper Sturt Road, and the suburb has its own volunteer CFS brigade. Before each fire season, have the gutters cleared and vegetation near the house cut back, and make sure your tenant knows the CFS advice.
Ask whether the house runs on mains water and sewer or on tanks and an on-site wastewater system. Either way the tenant needs to know how it works, and tanks and on-site systems need servicing on schedule.
Storm damage, blocked gutters and overgrown gardens show up early in the photo report from each of our four inspections a year. PlanSA lists any hazard overlays and approval rules for the address, and a job that may need approval is raised with you before we book it. Read more on residential property management.
Who Rents in Upper Sturt
Tenants, work and your rental income
Families define Upper Sturt. Family households were 83.1% of the total at the 2021 Census, couples with children 47.0% of all families, and homes with four or more bedrooms 40.4%. Professionals were 31.7% of employed residents and managers 17.6%, with hospitals and higher education the top industries.
Tenants here rely on cars: 64.1% of workers drove on Census day, and 15.7% worked from home, well above the state figure of 9.6%. A home office, dependable heating for winter, covered parking and a manageable garden all help a Hills rental lease and keep its tenant.
Our management also reaches nearby Hills suburbs such as Crafers West, Stirling, Heathfield, Belair and Hawthorndene. Rent is paid to owners twice weekly, and if you live away from Adelaide, see our interstate landlord service.
