Sydney's Inner West runs from Glebe and Newtown out through Annandale, Leichhardt and Rozelle to Marrickville, Petersham and Dulwich Hill. Houst manages short lets across the area, from Victorian terraces and semis on leafy back streets to warehouse conversions and apartments close to the main roads, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let in the Inner West at an average of A$359 a night with 75% occupancy. That works out at around A$98,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the area, on Glebe Point Road in Glebe, King Street in Newtown, Norton Street in Leichhardt and Marrickville Road in Marrickville, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$291 on Norton Street in Leichhardt to A$457 on King Street in Newtown.
Demand peaks from December to February, with summer and the New Year. University terms, event nights and longer stays keep the rest of the year steady. Figures will vary with size, finish and suburb.

The Inner West covers very different streets, and we price each one on its own data. King Street in Newtown and Enmore Road draw guests for bars, restaurants and gigs at the Enmore Theatre, Glebe sits beside the University of Sydney, Norton Street in Leichhardt has its Italian cafes, and Marrickville has breweries and a busy food scene. Trains, buses and the light rail link most suburbs to the CBD quickly, and summer and the New Year are the busiest times.
We also manage nearby, including Balmain, Burwood, Surry Hills and Sydney CBD. For the wider city, see Airbnb management in Sydney.
