The headline median covers every property type together, so the mix matters — a suburb with many rooms or studios shows a lower overall median than its houses alone.
| Property type | Median weekly | Bonds | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| House | $886 | 63 | 49% |
| Apartment | $746 | 18 | 14% |
| Boarding House | $275 | 33 | 26% |
Read this median carefully. Roughly 26% of new tenancies in Epsom are single rooms or boarding-house places, which cost far less than a whole property. That pulls the headline median down, and a house here typically rents for $886.
