Reviews of Salisbury North, SA
"Things have changed a lot"
Things have definitely changed a whole lot since I last lived here 13 years ago with lots of new homes, low crime rates vs surrounding suburbs and high employment. Got our house cheap while the stigma still keeps prices quite low but probably not for long as its got access to everything you need. Family likes the big block of land and parks. Was easy to rent out a room to a defence cadet who works across the road. Suburb is quiet despite very busy shopping and infrastructure around. Definitely undervalued and overlooked suburb that's way better than people who haven't lived here suggest.

"Up and coming good for young families"
Salisbury North has loads of green space, lots of easy access to shops and transport. Lots of activity with families moving in, houses getting updated. Area still feels undervalued and seems like it is on the rise. Still a bargain but relatively central. Great spot to settle in with my family - mix of young families and elderly people who have lived there for decades. Actually very quiet area and close to the RAAF base for work.

"Area of Rapid Growth"
Established suburb with lots of shopping facilities, amenities and transport nearby. Quickly undergoing gentrification and becoming quite a desirable region with significant growth and infrastructure plans in the area.

"Gradualy Improving"
Although this part of salisbury is know as the worser part i would like to say it has improved and isn't as bad as it used to be. there are more nicer people moving into the area and the yahoos are slowly migrating further out north like angle vale, andrews farm, munno para etc.

"Completely avoid at all costs"
Salisbury North, whilst has a lot of local needs close by, has one of the highest serious assault rates in South Australia, according to SA Police statistics. I've driven past this area a few times and noticed that a lot of things close up and pack up early, probably due to having to get home on time to avoid the rampant crime that goes on at night. There are shops and amenities nearby but I don't think that would be a pleasant experience either. Housing is cheap though.
"It's certainly a suburb."
I live in Salisbury North but, crime is rampart, D***heads are everywhere and to be honest there are much better places to live in the same price bracket.
The Crime-Rate in SN is the highest in all of the northern suburbs excluding Elizabeth and Salisbury city centers (High shoplifting numbers) and the highest assault rate than any suburb that's not Adelaide. Sapol website is proof.

"good place"
I really do not understand that why people think the places where low income family stay are the worth place! Yes you can afford a fancy houses in good areas because you are rich or you do not have to raise the family! I am so sad that people would say avoid this area because there are lots of housing truth houses ! Being poor or being disable its not their fault! why cant we stop saying those words to hurt people living in this area ?? What is wrong with you people ! have you actually live in this area? Is something happend to you ?? Come on
