Location remains crucial for those seeking properties with tennis courts. Affluent suburbs with larger blocks typically feature the most tennis courts. Melbourne, home to the Australian Open, leads in residential tennis court numbers, however it's Wahroonga on Sydney’s north shore that has had the most sales of properties containing tennis courts. Coming in second is Frankston South and Mount Eliza, both having a lot of large blocks that are able to fit a court on-site.
The impact on property values follows basic economics: a tennis court costing $50,000 to build should theoretically add $50,000 to the property's value. However, tennis courts differ from amenities like swimming pools. With tennis attracting a more specific group of enthusiasts, courts may not command the same broad market premium as pools.
For tennis players, a private court offers more than financial value - it provides convenience and enhances lifestyle quality. As participation grows, properties with tennis courts may become increasingly desirable among tennis enthusiasts, even as they become harder to find in urban areas.
