Flagstaff Hill, SA 5159

I grew up in Flagstaff Hill. Beautiful suburb. Surrounded by gardens and a great community atmosphere .Short drive to beaches and shopping centres. Relaxing and community atmosphere.

Flagstaff has been an amazing suburb for our family, with koalas and kangaroos around but only 25 min from the CBD! It has great schools and a tight community.

Family friendly suburb . Semi-rural lifestyle with trails and parks. Good and steady property value growth. Median house price of $650,000.
Review by local real estate agents Premier Real Estate

Idyllic suburb. Good neighbourly feel. Stunning views of the gorge/valley with refreshing gulley winds in summer. Loads of wildlife. Very tranquil.

We moved from Sydney 2 years ago and bought in Flagstaff Hill. The schools and Kindys are great! This was very important for us. Loads of walking trails and heaps of wildlife. The locals we have met are all friendly. We feel very lucky to have ended up here.

We are enjoying our property immensely. The views are superb. It's not far from the City and not in the Hills so the commute isn't bad.

Flagstaff Hill is a beautiful location if you have a young family and are starting out in the property market. There is plentiful access to the local areas and down south if employment or need exists. Flagstaff Hill also boasts amazing city and foothill views if you purchase within the appropriate areas and offers larger land than its inner-city suburbs. However, my experiences there had several incidents with the local snake wildlife that had become worrisome that we had to be forced to seek extra services. Public transport is below par with not as many options as other outer-city suburbs but with access to the main amenities such as retail or educative outlets, this may not be an issue to the budding resident.

Great points:
• The views of the city and surrounding suburbs are amazing if purchased in applicable areas.
• Family-friendly neighbourhood.
• Large land for value and proximity.

Good points:
• Close to retail and other shopping amenities.
• Close to Marion and Aberfoyle Park hub.
• Access to south precincts via close proximity to the southern expressway.
• Public school options are above average compared to other areas in Adelaide
• Good access to Flinders University.
• Good rental return if investing.

Bad points:
• CBD transport both via car and public transport can be time-consuming compared to most other suburbs in Adelaide.

Ugly points:
• If you're scared of snakes be very wary. The house we purchased had various issues with native brown snakes constantly entering the residence and living around the pool. Pest control services were constantly called and repellant laid on an annual basis that costs money.

Flagstaff Hill is a friendly suburb, quiet and unassuming. People who enjoy walks, friendly wave to the neighbours, people just getting along. No real shopping hub but shops in surrounding suburbs aplenty. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

Just moved here a year ago. Professional, white collar neighbours, bordering on Sturt Gorge Recreational Park. Well built homes being updated, some stunning gardens, large properties. Close to Blackwood, the Hills, Westfield Marion and a short drive to the beach.

Big affordable houses. Close to the sea and the city but gives you that countryside feel.
