One of the most hidden gems in Adelaide. With recent developments to port Adelaide this area really is a hidden gem. I am originally from the surrounding area and it’s a wonder how North Haven still falls in the affordable bracket for young families.
The area has big blocks and is close to the beach. The drive along the esplanade is one of the best in Adelaide and all the shops you could ask for are on your doorstep. (Bunnings is a bit further tbh but can live with that).
The area is quite and I have Been living here for around 20 years since the wife and I purchased our second property. The beach is always quite and one of the best (LHS) and also great to spend a day fishing along outer harbour watching the boats coming in. I’m partial to crabbing and there are some big blueys found here in the season.
Train takes around 35 mins on the express route to CBD and on the longer (more stops) 45mins. Travel time to CBD is around 30mins by car and this will improve when the expressway reaches the CBD on the northern connector.
Blocks are big , neighbours are awesome and the takeaways at the marina are pretty good. The new sail master is also a great place to dine with great seafood and usually at dusk dolphins can be seen when dining on the decking area.
Most plots have big sheds in garden for storage for your boat or cars, loading time from my driveway to the marina to water is around 10 mins.
Local ASC development near by is a great sign for the area with talks of a new marina based hotel, light railway and retail centre planned for the near future. When these have completed it will be all but to late to get into the area before prices will become unaffordable like other areas further south along the coastal region.
All in all I’m very happy to live here and will always recommend it to to others who are considering making north haven there home.
It’s quaint feel and disconnect from the main city is a great welcome to the end of the day on the tools.
