Mawson Lakes is northern Adelaide’s masterplanned centrepiece — modern homes, townhouses and apartments arranged around the lakes, the UniSA campus and a train interchange that reaches the city in twenty minutes.
The precinct’s rental market is one of the strongest we manage in, driven by students, defence and tech workers, while owner-occupiers compete for the lakefront and Shearwater pockets. We currently sell and manage here, so our evidence is first-hand and current.

House prices
in Mawson Lakes
The median price of houses that sold in Mawson Lakes, from the South Australian Valuer-General's record of every settled sale. These are the figures for Jul–Sep 2026, updated each quarter.
A quarterly median moves with whichever homes happened to sell, so one quarter can swing. The line over five years is the better guide.

Will the submarine yard lift Mawson Lakes prices?
In March 2023, Wemark principal Parm Singh told API Magazine that Mawson Lakes was one of the suburbs likely to see more demand from the nuclear-powered submarine yard at Osborne, but not straight away. From the year to March 2023 to the year to September 2026, the typical house price in Mawson Lakes rose 40%, from $661,000 to $926,000, less than metropolitan Adelaide (45%). So far the shipyard has not shown up as an extra lift in prices: about 1,100 people were working on the yard in September 2026, against a planned workforce of nearly 10,000.

Property management fees in Mawson Lakes
Most Adelaide agencies charge 9% to 11% of the rent collected. Wemark Real Estate charges 6.6% including GST, with no statement fees, no maintenance handling fees and no exit fees. The median weekly rent for a house leased in Mawson Lakes in April to June 2026 was $650, from 80 new leases. On that rent, the management fee alone comes to:
| Management fee | A year on $650 a week |
|---|---|
| 11%, the top of the Adelaide range | $3,718 |
| 9%, the bottom of the Adelaide range | $3,042 |
| Wemark, 6.6% including GST | $2,231 |
That is $811 to $1,487 a year less than the usual range on a typical Mawson Lakes house. The other charges are fixed: a letting fee of 1.5 weeks’ rent plus GST when we place a new tenant ($1,073 on this rent), $33 a routine inspection, $55 for entry and exit inspections, $299 a lease renewal and $12 a month admin, all including GST. Every fee is on our property management fee schedule and in the agreement before you sign.
