The O’Sullivan Beach house at 26 Baden Tce sold for $737,000 in May.
Meanwhile, Woodville Gardens had the lowest median house price in the west at $550,000, with Port Adelaide ($665,000) and Taperoo ($682,745) rounding out the region’s top three.
Harris Real Estate Wine Coast agent Sam Bennett said the more affordable southern suburbs were slightly further inland but the beach was still only minutes away.
“There are lots of people who would love to be on the beach side but they’re getting priced out,” he said.
“For example, a lot of the people who would love to be in Christies Beach are getting priced out of there a bit, but you go one street over and you’ve got Christie Downs.
“There is a lot more development happening in Christie Downs as well.
“First-home buyers, for example, they can get a new home in Christie Downs.”
Mr Bennett said the lifestyle on offer in Adelaide’s southern suburbs also made them appealing.
“That’s where the closest beach that has surf is, it’s also where the closest beach that you can drive onto is,” he said.

The Rosewater house at 24 Tapp St recently sold for $700,000.
Mr Bennett said the expressway has also made it much more accessible, while fewer traffic lights further south made local travel easier.
Meanwhile, Ray White Port Adelaide principal Nick Psarros said there were also plenty of options in the city’s west.
From older homes on large blocks in suburbs like Ottoway to new houses in transitioning areas like Woodville Gardens and Gillman, Ms Psarros said the area offered a mix of properties.
He said proximity to both the city and the sea made the region appealing.
“People like the west – they like the feel, there are lots of little coffee shops everywhere, it’s easy to get around,” he said.
“It’s very streamlined and nothing is too far.
“In 15 minutes you can get from one place to the other easily.”
