Reviews of Golden Grove, SA
"Ok Shopping Centre, Decent Suburb"
I Do Like Golden Grove Great View of The Gully and Foot Hills Being Situated in the North Eastern Suburbs and Being Close Proximity to Places Like Tea Tree Plaza and The Barossa Valley or One Tree Hill Etc…. I Do Think it’s a Good Place To Visit or Live, Coming from Someone who Lives in Modbury so I would Know from Experience…. Beautiful Both The Old Golden Grove Uniting Church and Greenwith Uniting Churches Both Located in Golden Grove and Both Historic Listed built in 1890s on One Tree Hill Road. Must Admit I Do Love The State Swim at Golden Grove But Not The People in The Car Park of It, I Do Love Shopping at Garden Grove Nursery on Golden Grove Road and Also I Love what The Tea Tree Gully Council Does at The Golden Grove Recreation and Arts Centre is Good Too But Golden Grove is Too Hilly is my Complaint, Have to Shave and Dig out of The Hills of The Mount Lofty Ranges to Build in This Area and has some People Speeding Down The Golden Way Going 90km in a 60km Zone and Also Some people speeding down other Backstreets and Does Have Some Housing Trust Properties owned by Housing SA But you get That Everywhere It’s a Bit Like Ingle Farms set up in Some parts of Golden Grove have those Units in Wynn Vale area too also The Golden Grove Police Station being Near by, There are a ‘Few Rude People's in The Grove Shops Carpark’ Issues at Both Schools in Golden Grove Being Both Next to Each Other Pedare Christian School and Golden Grove High School School and also has Had Issues in Past with Fights at Both Schools also Rude People in The Grove Shopping Centre Car Park and Shine My Car Hand Car Wash has had Issues too with Staff Being Rude. Previously know as The Grove Village It's a Mixed Bag of People, Some of the Old Area is Rough but the Newer Area that was Mostly Built in The Late 90s and Early 2000s That Part is Safer and Good Part of Golden Grove, The Issue is Some Eshays at The Golden Grove Skate Park and The Grove Shops Seen it so I Should Know, But what you get is What you can Expect I Wouldn’t Class it as Perfect 3 Star Not Happy with Some of The People who Shop at The Grove.

"Great place to live"
Family friendly area surrounded by quality homes Golden Grove has a lot to offer including the amazing Golden Fields Park that has tennis court, basketball court, BBQ areas, playgrounds bike track and skate park. Wonderful restaurants and hotels, high schools, and primary schools. Bus route that takes you strait to the city. The Grove shopping Centre, no better place to live.

"Golden Grove is going downhill, fast"
Pros
- Pretty main streets
- Council do a fairly good job
- Some great eateries
Cons
- Aggressive people everywhere
- A LOT of housing trust, people with obvious mental issues
- Cars are always damaged at the Village
- Drivers are insanely arrogant, cut in front of cars just to slow down, and stop at empty roundabouts
- Childcare educators have even noted how rude the parents are and how feral many of the kids are
- The high school now needs security due to bullying
We cannot wait to leave
"Best of both worlds"
I love living in Golden Grove, I am close to the Grove Shopping Centre with several specialty shops and cafes to visit as well as several parks and green spaces including Cobbler Creek Conservation Park with its bike and walking trails. There is the added convenience of being easily accessible to the CBD with several bus routes providing a short 25 minute ride to the City.

"Clean, green, safe, quiet family friendly town"
Being able to see the open, blue sky and hills as you drive home(maybe spotting native birds, the occasional koala or roo along the way) and the stars at night, magnificent sunsets to the west whilst having the conveniences of modern living in a metro area (shopping, gyms, sports venues and clubs, quality schools, health services). Only a short drive to the Barossa, half an hour to drive to Semaphore beach, scenic Hills landscapes on your doorstep and access to multiple wineries, fresh fruit, farmland, close to historical buildings in Tea Tree Gully, etc and convenient access to the CBD via the o'bahn and public transport/ using Park and ride facilities- we love Golden Grove.

"Feels like a small community town!"
Golden Grove is a north-eastern suburb about 35-40 minutes out of the city (if it is longer or shorter to get to the city from Golden Grove, correct me). It is so beautiful. Out of the running and mock in the Adelaide CBD is Golden Grove: a somewhat suburb and township mixed together. Golden Grove has been around since the 1990s as it started off as a small suburb. Then, over the 2000s and 2010s, it has shops, schools, fitness centers, you name it. Nearly all of the streets in Golden Grove have a astounding view of the hills or just the landscapes in the area. People seem to look after their houses very well, with either the residents watering their plants, cleaning their yard, etc. This shows that they want to keep the area the same as it is: clean. Which I think is a good idea. People are very friends and neighborly here. There are lots of park lands spread across Golden Grove, with playgrounds for the kids, trails and gazebos. Overall, Golden Grove is definetly an eye-opener, and it is for someone or a family who wants the basic local buildings. Good luck!

"I have always loved Golden Grove, exepted for one thing..."
I have always wanted to live in Golden Grove. Here is why:
Good points are:
1. There are lots of familes that are so friendly
2. Its incredibly quiet and safe
3. Very Clean AND Green
4. Good for schools.
The bad points are:
1. I don't know, but is it far from the city?
2. My kids go to Blackfriars Priory School in Prospect, how far will it take in current traffic.
Thank you. These are just some points I know about Golden Grove. Look at my rating details as well (Haven't done all of them)

I know how far it is from town even though I do not have school aged kids.If my mother was to pass on in the future and for work purposes was to stay in Adelaide I would if the price is right choose this over moving to Melbourne and living with my brother as to keep my independence.Just out of Curiosity If the Payneham house can sell for $800 Grand would that get me a home up there with change to spare or would I be sent even further downmarket into the crapholes of Elizabeth which I am trying to avoid.Any help would be most welcome
"Lived here for 20 years, safe, clean, green and a friendly suburb"
I have basically lived here my whole life. I grew up here, we live near cobbler creek area so when i was younger i used to play down at the park and the creek. Was very safe, the parks are really lovely here.
It is a pretty quiet neighbor hood. We have good neighbors which some of them build in this area when my parents were building here (i still live with parents). Not great for clothes shopping or big department shopping, although we do have Big W here but Tea tree plaza is only about 10 minutes away anyway so it has never been an issue. There is a Fasta Pasta, Primo's and the village tavern and a few Chinese and Indian places to eat and there is also mcdonalds, kfc and hungry jacks here too. The Village Shopping Center is Golden Groves shopping Center. The focus in this shopping seems to be more about food, there is a veg shop, butchers, cakes, chocolate, bakery, Woolworths, Foodland, Big W and baby target, plus a few more other shops. Public transport tends to be pretty good, there is the Golden Grove interchange and a lot of buses go to TTP O'Bahn which then go into the city. Probably takes around 30-40 minutes to get into the city.
I love my street i live in Limes court, down the end of my street is a park and play ground which leads into the mike green trail. There are plenty of schools here both primary and high school. Traffic is generally pretty good. There is a recreational centre for sporty people to place netball and stuff. Cost of living is pretty reasonable. The main hospital is at Modbury on 10 minutes away and there is police station in Golden Grove as well.
Golden Grove has pretty much everything you need really. Probably the downside would be there is not a lot of restaurants of cafe's in the area, but i save more money that way!

I would not worry so much about the shopping mall being a large convenience place.It's alright for the basics like Banking,Booking Holidays and the Supermarket and Tea Tree Plaza is not all that far away for anything that cannot be done locally.Just be lucky unlike me You are not in an area where most of the people are all very much up themselves.


It has a lot of good points but it's a long way from everywhere Golden Grove and as nice as the houses are You pay just as much for something there as you do in one of the Eastern Suburbs dollar for dollar.I almost suggested that area for our family home to move to when it came time to move on from the old Salisbury House we had from 1972 to 2005 but we found a Payneham Home instead for less than say Spring Hill Golden Grove.
