Great shops, unbelievably quiet streets so close to the city, this suburb is amongst the best in Adelaide.
There are as the name suggests numerous parks nearby with Unley Oval, several dog parks plus the playing fields of the south parklands and Victoria Park a five minute walk away.
Great shopping centres and cafes strips abound and the area has a real sense of community in most of the streets. Young Street is one of the highlights with it's cute single fronted cottages and small villas that in Sydney or Melbourne would fetch crazy money contributing to the lovely close knit community feel.
I can't think of anywhere else apart from pricey North Adelaide that has the same vibe.
