Beach Road would have to be the center of attention in the area. It has everything at your finger tips, offering not only a brilliant place to live but a great day out for the family. It reminds me of Glenelg but on a smaller scale and with out the herds or people.

If you decide to visit the street make sure you finish it off down the end of the road at the beach.

Davis Avenue is not for everyone, it has often attracted hoons leaving their mark up the street, one house using a live band every so often until after 4am and a few loud and abusive neighbors. We spent over 4 years on the street and were very happy to have left. Their are a few fantastic neighbors however I would not recommend living in this street unless you enjoyed the noise and disturbances.

Roy Terrace is a long road offering housing opportunities for all price ranges. It is a high traffic area during all hours especially during school hours. The locals are quiet and keep to themselves. Blocks range in all sizes and are suited to families looking for room to move. Best of all the beach is only a short walk away, nothing gets better then that.

Maturin Avenue has a few cons to it. Firstly it has a school located towards one end and for this reason it can have high traffic periods causing frustration with some home owners as cars park across some drive ways. A part from that activity the street is generally quiet. It is within walking distance to Beach Road which offers all types of businesses, doctors, take out food and much more.

Christies Beach really has everything at its door step. Beach road is the main attraction to the area offering a wide variety of shops, supermarkets, butchers, costume hire, petrol stations, fast food outlets, doctors, chemists and much much more. Who needs a car when everything is within walking distance.

I spend every Saturday morning sitting on the corner of Grundy Terrace and Beach road enjoying a chai latte watching exercise groups, families and dog walkers utilize the local park and beach.

I was a resident of the are for 1 year on Maturin Avenue and from this experience can speak highly of the area I was located in. Houses are affordable and we are slowly seeing new properties go up around in the vacant blocks.

If you are not looking at moving into Christies Beach, it is well worth a visit when you are in the area.

I grew up in Huntfield Heights but being such a large suburb I can only express my views to a small portion of Huntfield Heights. As a child I enjoyed the the many local parks available, all in walking distance from my house. The area we were located in was very neighborly, everyone knew everyone and we all looked out for one another. Quite often did we hold BBQs and parties at one another's house and enjoyed living in such a laid back area.

The street we were located on was a strange set up but manageable none the less. Many streets are very hilly but fantastic for some exercise or walking your family dog.

Shops and local transport are all within walking distance to our property, with major shopping facilities close by and a range of local sporting clubs and schools this area is great for any family.

Imagine waking up early on a Sunday, walking down to the many local cafes for a coffee, strolling casually down the local beach or fishing on the jetty then heading to the pub for lunch. Well you can do all of this and more in Pt Noarlunga. It offers a variety of shops, cafes, drive through bottle shop connected to the Pt Noarlunga hotel, pristine beaches, schools, breathtaking views and a quiet neighborhood. This area would be high on my list of an area to retire too. Experience it for yourself and spend the weekend, you will never want to leave.

Little traffic comes with little disturbance, enjoy the peace and quiet and feel safe with the seclusion.

Aldinga Beach is open to all, surfers, singles, retirees and families. The area feels like a holiday retreat, some where you can escape too when times are tough. The Aldinga Beach is the highlight of the area, with pristine beaches and clear waters, it is the perfect area to enjoy over the summer period. As I am only a passer-by to the area, I can not give further comments to living in Aldinga Beach. I can say that this is an area I would happily move too and enjoy later on in life.

Seaford is the perfect area to live for any age group. With its relaxed atmosphere and local pristine beaches, Seaford offers a location that should be sort after by all.

Seaford offers some high quality cafes and pizza bars that will please any teenager on a Friday night. The houses are very affordable and offer larger blocks then the suburb across the road.

When deciding upon a home I always recommend driving through the area at night and on the weekends. This will give you an idea of what your possible future neighbors are like and you can eliminate any areas that have a high level of parties or late night noise.

If you are new to Adelaide or Australia, Seaford would be the perfect location to be a part of.

Hackham is an area I grew up in. I found it sad when growing up hearing the jokes and bad reports about the area. I have never had an issue with this area and really enjoyed the 8 years I spent living there. My parents are still locals to the area and would not live any where else.
Traffic is minimal in the area and most of the streets are quiet and peaceful.
You have access to two small shopping centres in the area, a retirement village, take out joints, doctors, childcare facilities, nature walks, tennis courts, parks and so much more.
No matter what you have heard, if you want to live in Hackham, I say, give it a try. You will not be disappointed, you will easily fall in love with the area and the peace it brings.

Seaford Meadows has been my home for the past 3 years and will always remain as my home town for the next 5 years at least. With a large family I wanted an area that was child friendly and quiet, I struck it lucky with the street we chose to move into.

We have a large amount of parks in this area, two of them located on my street alone.
Seaford shopping centre is only a few minutes away and a new shopping complex under construction just up the road.

We also have a local doctors surgery that we have now all transferred too and a chemist connected to the doctors surgery.

The area is also host to a variety of take outs, gyms, schools, library, retirement village and the new railway line which is close to completion.

Some small pockets are populated with housing trust homes but I have been lucky enough to live in a part that comes with little trouble unlike a select few in the area.

My neighbours have always been friendly, inviting and look out for one another's home. I have also seen a large group of locals in bright vests patrolling the area, ensuring our neighbour hood is protected and void of trouble.
