Reviews of Mile End, SA
"So much potential and growing in popularity over time!"
Great suburbs for first home owners and those wanting to live close to the city, minus the price of the eastern suburbs. Lots of good cafes and major stores! Lots of young health professionals working at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital have been buying houses here more recently.

"A great spot for first home owners or renters"
Busy Mile End! It is one of the fastest-growing residential areas in South Australia, just to the west of Adelaide. Old houses are rapidly being demolished, and replaced with modern townhouses with all the mod-cons.
A homemaker’s delight, Mile End is home to the huge shopping complex with a massive Bunnings and a large collection of furniture and homewares stores.
It is only a 5 minute drive to the city, and well-connected with public transport. It is also an easy walk, but avoid walking through the west parklands at night time as it can be quite dangerous.
Firmly planted under the flight path, it can be quite noisy. However the Adelaide Airport traffic is managed with strict curfews on flight times so you will be able to sleep well at night.
Cafes and restaurants are being built very quickly in the area, and there are all the facilities you need within easy walking distance.
Overall, Mile End is a great spot for renters or first home buyers due to the ever growing supply of housing in the suburb.
