Seaton, SA 5023

We live on the East side of the train line in the central part. We have great neighbours, 300m from train station, 300m from a bus route but far enough away from the main road and far enough away from the train station for it to be a perfect quiet location. 40kmph speed limits on side roads is a bonus. Also as we are on the town side of the train station we do not have to cross it all the time. Its very high on my list of underrated suburbs but that is changing rapidly. We now have sub divisible blocks that were selling for $440-500k in 2017 now selling for 750-900k in 2022. Like a lot of suburbs they are starting to become unachievable for many without the means. We now regret not having purchased another block to subdivide.

Seaton is a great suburb sat between the city with the train line and various bus connections getting you to the CBD in around 20 mins and the beach, which is literally a 5 minute drive to beautiful Grange beach!
The suburb is developing, the old housing trust stuff is mostly gone with the huge new Square development almost complete. Currently Seaton is massively undervalued considering its prime location in my opinion.. Compare it to Lockleys, Kidman Park, Fulham Gardens, Grange and Henley and you are getting serious value for money! West Lakes and Port Adelaide are on the doorstep also so convenience all round. Great suburb and one to watch

Seaton is like my second home!

Having a family member live in the area, i know vividly what happens in Seaton.

Seaton is a beautiful suburb, if your on the right half of it! if you are on the Grange side of Seaton the congratulations you have a beautiful home and a really friendly neighbourhood ! If your on the Royal Park side, you might be running into trouble with all of the hosing trust homes!

Lets focus on the better half!

Seaton is a glowing suburb and is local to pretty much everything! 25 Minutes from town, minutes away from grange beach and westlakes is right around the corner. If your looking for a great neighborhood with a good spirit then Seaton is for you.

With a prestige golf course at walking distance Seaton can appeal to a whole variety of demographics!

Having lived in Seaton I enjoyed being close to the beach and not too far from the city. There are some better pockets of Seaton than others. I agree with some other posts that the southern side of Seaton is better than the northern side. There are also some pockets that have been redeveloped too. Very close to West Lakes shopping center and there are some decent liitle block of shops in the suburb.

Some areas in Seaton are beautiful...on the limits with Grange and Fulham garden are very nice areas with houses at great prices. It is neccesary to know where to look for. The southern end is all privatly owned, has a golf course, close to the beach, close to Wesk Lakes Mall, etc.
We lived in this area for more than 5 years, we walked to the beach nearly everyday during summer. Just beautiful! Only 10 minutes walk to Henley Square or Grange cafes! Kids love it.
Furthermore, there is excellent access to busses and the train.

Seaton is a strange one. The southern end is all privatly owned, has a golf course etc. The northern end is largely housing trust, has streets which turn into carparks all football season, and has regular visits by police.
We lived there (northern end) for almost 5 years in a privat house. We had good friendly neighbours, but just 6 houses down the trouble areas started. We used to go for evening walks but stopped that a couple of years ago as we began feeling unsafe. We moved as we dont want to raise a family in that environment.
There is excellent access to busses and the train. Easy access to Port Rd and Taplies Hill Rd. If you like fotie, you can walk to AAMI stadium. Good shops at Wetlakes (but watch for carpark safety after dark).
Like I said, it's a strange area. A mix of good and bad.

I lived there for about 15 years since I was born and I couldn't fault it. After visiting other areas of the western suburbs I have found that Seaton is actually a brilliant location close to the beach, West Lakes Mall and not far from the city. I have decided that I will be living there when I move from home within the next year. The value of houses is a little more expensive than other areas but you can still find some good buys there.
