Reviews of Payneham, SA
"Payneham South"
Have always wanted to live somewhere close to nature and the city when we moved to Adelaide from Melbourne.
Finally found it in Payneham South! 5 mins to the River Torrens (Hamilton Park Reserve) where I go for my jogs, 15 mins to the city by car/ bus during week days, 10 mins to Hazelwood park (kids playground), 5 mins to the Parade (Norwood) - this place has everything anyone can ask for - schools , parklands, proximity to the city.
Great for
- Close to city (only 10 bus stops , 6km)
- Close to shopping (The Parade, Firle Shopping, etc), schools, parks etc
- Safe and quiet (Private) leafy suburb
Not great for
- Main road (Portrush Road) can be busy during peak hour traffic - Bus is fine

"A very convenient spot near the CBD"
Situated to the east of Adelaide, Payneham is a 15 minute drive from the heart of the CBD. There are frequent buses along Payneham Road, so you can be in the city in no time.
The suburb offers a range of different homes. There are some grand old homes with large gardens. A number of modern townhouses and courtyard homes have popped up in recent years. There are also a number of older cottages or houses, some in need of renovation, that offer cheap rental accommodation close to the city of Adelaide. Payneham has a diverse population as a result, including families, professional couples, retirees and students.
The suburb has a lot of shops and facilities. The Avenues is an excellent supermarket situated between Payneham and Magill Roads, and there are a number of shops, cafes and fast food shops on the intersection with Portrush Road, as well as a good sports complex, including a Fitness First gym.
It is an excellent spot to be based, whether you are looking for a convenient spot near the city or a friendly suburb to raise your kids or retire.
