According to the industry body, rental yields in Carlton climbed to an impressive 8.50 per cent for one-bedroom units in the 12 months to March, which is certainly a favourable figure if you're an investor.

Weekly median rents in the popular inner-city suburb for one-bedroom units alone reached $340 in March 2014. Two-bedroom units were being rented for an average $472 per week, with a 4.60 per cent gross rental yield. 

When it comes to houses, Carlton has also been performing well. 

For instance, a two-bedroom house in Carlton would receive a median weekly rent of $480 during March 2014, with a 3.10 per cent rental yield. There was a big jump in median weekly rents for three-bedroom houses, with the figure leaping to $720 during March 2014.

The average Melbourne rent was $445 for a house during April 2014, according to a 22 May article from Residex founder John Edwards. Melbourne units recorded median weekly rents of $395 during the same period.
