Modbury

"Affordable, convenient and peaceful, Modbury is a hidden gem!"

I was looking for a place to buy and I didn't know much about the suburbs in Adelaide as I was from interstate. My budget was under $275k and there were many choices to choose from including established units closer to the CBD or even building a new house in the northern suburbs like Blakes Crossing. But after doing some research, I decided to settle with a unit on Crozier Ave in Modbury and couldn't be happier. The main attractions at the time of purchase were affordability, access to Westfield Shopping Centre, the OBahn and the hospital for my elders.
A thing that worried me at the time was the neighbourhood, you can google and visit the place as much as you want, but you only really find out what it's like when you move in. I was so pleased to discover that the neighbours were very friendly and the place was amazingly peaceful to the point where I can enjoy the birds chirping away in our common native gardens, it really is wonderful.
Other things I appreciated whilst living here is the good sized library, the GP Plus Super Clinic which takes bookings and is bulk billed, a well maintained civic park with free movies courtesy of the council, the council also has a free community bus for elders which is great, Anytime Fitness down the road, a buffet restaurant as well as the 24hr fast food outlets for that midnight craving.
Hope this review will help others also looking for a suburb to live in, I know I was reading lots of reviews when deciding and I'm very glad I chose Modbury.

Great for

  • Still affordable
  • Suburb with a hospital
  • Walking distance to bulk billed medical centre
  • Civic Park fantastic play ground and bbq spot
  • Minutes walk to TTP Westfield shopping centre
  • So close to public transport very regular including Obahn

Not great for

  • Lacking an identity i.e. beach suburbs are trendy, hill suburbs are charming, I think the Council needs to work on creating some identify for Modbury in the future - maybe the city with everything
  • Nightlife - head into Adelaide CBD for that

Who lives here?

  • Professionals
  • Singles
  • Families with kids
