Baverstock attracts a professional and family-oriented rental demographic, reflected in its median household income of $144,900 — well above the national average. With a median age of 37 and roughly 33% of households renting, the suburb sustains consistent demand from working households who value residential stability and local amenity.
The lower-quartile rent of $788 per week rising to an upper quartile of $895 per week signals a tight, relatively premium rental market with limited downside in pricing. One-bedroom properties start at $640 per week, suggesting smaller dwellings also command solid returns in this neighbourhood.
Based on the Auckland median price of $1,000,000, Baverstock's indicative gross yield range sits between 4.1% and 4.7%. At a median rent of $830 per week, the suburb delivers competitive gross income for Auckland, where yields are often compressed by high land values. Investors targeting the upper end of that yield band will need to identify properties priced at or below the city median.
As with all Auckland investments, gross yield is only one part of the picture — body corporate fees, insurance, rates, and property management costs will reduce net returns meaningfully. Investors should model cash flow carefully and account for periods of vacancy, even if historically low in a suburb with a stable, higher-income renter cohort.
Baverstock presents a relatively low-risk rental profile for Auckland, underpinned by a high median household income of $144,900 and a median weekly rent of $830 that sits firmly in the upper tier of the city's rental market. The suburb's 33% renter proportion reflects genuine ongoing demand rather than a transient population, which supports tenancy continuity and reduces vacancy risk.
With indicative gross yields of 4.1%–4.7% and a population of 4,185, Baverstock is a manageable, established suburb — one to watch for investors seeking rental income stability in the Auckland market.
