Garfield Avenue, Kurralta Park, SA 5037

Lived here for 5 years, the review I did for Plympton pretty much sums up how I feel about McArthur Avenue. Great local food, close to all the facilities you could ever want, near both the CBD and some great beaches.

The best feature of McArthur Avenue is the linear park across the road, with a walking/cycling track. There is also Weigall Oval down the street, and around the corner there are two parks/playgrounds. Once in Allchurch Ave (with a tennis court!) and one in Cross Tce next to the Guides hall.

It's also quite close to a decent set of local shops (about 1km - 10 minutes walk) with a Coles and Kmart.

The only negative parts about this street is that the traffic is quite heavy at peak hour as people tend to use this street as a short cut to avoid main roads, traffic lights etc. This has become worse since the roadworks on South Rd started.

Other than that, it's a pretty good place to live.
