Wemark Real Estate sells, leases and manages homes in Modbury Heights, 9.3 km from our office in Blair Athol. In the twelve months to October 2026 we secured 3 tenancies here. The median house price here was $903,000 in July to September 2026, across 27 settled sales, according to the South Australian Valuer-General.
Modbury Heights climbs away from Milne Road towards the foothills, which is where its name comes from and why some of its streets have a view. The homes are largely seventies and eighties family builds on regular blocks, well kept, on streets that curve rather than grid.
Buyers here are usually families who want a bigger home than Modbury proper offers at the same money, and tenants tend to stay put — our leases in the Heights are rarely short ones.

The median price of houses that sold in Modbury Heights, from the South Australian Valuer-General's record of every settled sale. These are the figures for Jul–Sep 2026, updated each quarter.
