Room rents in Princes Hill
Princes Hill is a small share house market. Our July 2026 sweep found 1 room advertised here, which is too few to publish a reliable median or rent range. As a guide, the median advertised room across Melbourne was $317 a week, and the median for the inner north suburbs, which include Princes Hill, was $330.
With so few rooms advertised, there isn't much to choose from in Princes Hill at any one time. If a room does come up it's worth moving quickly, and it's worth checking the neighbouring suburbs below, where there are more rooms. If you're listing a room here, you won't have much competition.
When rooms come up
At the July sweep, 373 rooms across Melbourne had an August move-in date, 4.6 times the number for September. Part of that gap is because rooms are mostly listed a few weeks ahead, but it also lines up with the start of semester two, when a lot of students move. Princes Hill is a small market, so it's worth watching the neighbouring suburbs below as well, where more rooms come up.
