"Beautiful walks"
There are a tonne of beautiful areas to go to for a great walk. A lovely area to live, or even better to purchase an investment property.

"A relaxed community where you feel like you're on holidays every day!""
Located a quick 20 minutes from the heart of Adelaide, North Haven offers the best holiday lifestyle for all types of families. A great selection of restaurants a walk away makes dining out so easy. All are very child friendly which is great. No need for a huge backyard here - there are many parks along the esplanade, with many more scattered throughout the suburb. A great environment for walking the dog with doggy-doo bags attached to most bins, and very conscientious owners to boot. No excuse to not exercise - the beach is at your doorstep, walking paths everywhere and strolling around the marina is always a pleasure. If you have children, there are numerous schools to choose from, great Kindergartens and lots of after school activities for them. A recent bonus is the huge park built at Pelican Point - open space, scooter tracks, climbing equipment, flying foxes - a child's paradise.
Once you've lived here, you will never want to live anywhere else!!!

"Buy now before itโs too late ! Best for young families in SA"
North haven is an amazing place to live so peaceful and picturesque, large plots close to the beach and semaphore.
Would recommend for young couples looking to buy a house for raising young children.
Gulf Point Marina precinct, North Haven is one of the prettiest spots by the sea anywhere in the world. It is Adelaide's best kept secret. We have traveled extensively overseas and visited a lot of seaside towns and marinas so we do have the experience to make comparisons. We love North Haven so much that we have lived here since 1998 and now own two homes in the marina precinct.
North Haven beach is gorgeous. You can fish off the rocks, whilst watching the ships sail into Outer Harbour; or walk on the sand and gaze blissfully at the Adelaide Hills in the background. It is very picturesque. A great way to de-stress.
North Haven is serviced by bus and train with a fast trip into the city only taking 30 minutes. The rail line is soon to be electrified. It is also easy to just walk out your door and board a cruise ship to take you to far-away places. The overseas passenger terminal has just been upgraded and the cruise ship visits are increasing every year.
North Haven's main shopping centre has: train station, Post Office, supermarket, butcher, bakery, fruit and veg shop, chicken/hamburger/fish&chip shop, deli, chemist, discount store, hairdresser, dentist, doctor, physio, etc. There is another doctors' surgery closer to the marina. A smaller shopping complex, The Gulf Point Centre, overlooks the water on the marina and houses the hotel with its bottle shop and a great restaurant. At this shopping centre there is also an Italian restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, and a deli/cafe where people meet and have breakfast by the water. The Gulf Point Centre also has a hairdressing salon, a shop that sells all sorts of things including stuff to sew with, and a beauty parlour for your nails, facials, and waxing. Yacht brokers also ply their trade at the Gulf Point Centre. The Beach Pit is also on the marina and beach side is a great meeting place. It serves meals during the day, but is closed in the evenings.
North Haven has a number of parks with picnic facilities and playground equipment. Every year the Carols by the Marina event is held in the park by the marina. The best recreation of all is watching the Port River dolphins when they make their daily visit to the marina to fish and to play.
What a place! It's fantastic!

"Shhhhh! Beach Front !!! Sleepy North Haven is ripe for the picking!""
North haven is one of those suburbs where as if time has stood still. There are little corner shops and the classic old petrol stations which are a thing of the past these days. Its adjacent the up and comimg Port Adelaide development and close to wonderful Semaphore beach. This is a well kept secret and once it takes off (Booming house prices) you will wonder why or what you were waiting for. I have lived in the Western suburbs for most of my life and have seen almost every other Suburb go off in value yet North Haven and a few others are just about ready to take off. Worth a visit and judge for yourself.

"Haven is ripe for the picking!""
Calling all yachtsmen! North Haven is the place in South Australia to park your yacht, with an extensive marina and many yacht clubs including the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron.
Twilight racing meets are common, always followed by a BBQ and a beer or two back at the club.
The streets of North Haven are neatly organised, with perfectly neat and modern townhouse after perfectly neat and modern townhouse. Each garden is well manicured too.
It is a lovely area for retirees, looking for safe, quiet and protected living with all the fun and social interaction of the yacht clubs.
Just a 45 minute drive to the city, North Haven is a great spot to live.

"Adelaides best kept secret!!"
Would have to be one of Adelaide best kept secrets! Stunning marina environment with wide open spaces, a stunning beach, incredible Marina, and some great parks! It also has some really nice eating places with the best outlooks in Adelaide. Feels like a world away from the hustle n bustle, but is only 25min to the city.
About to get a huge economic boost with a new Waterfront Hotel coupled with ramp up of ship/submarine building activities on the other side of the peninsula. Do yourself a favour and check it out!
