"A great area to live with great views, and easy access to shops and train stations"
I have grown up in Hallett Cove, so I have seen it change over time, and it has improved in some areas but become worse in other ones. The Hallett Cove Shops are much better than they were, with more choices in shopping, but it is hard for smaller businesses to get started there (we have had around 10 shops come and go since the complex was renovated). Pavana Park is a nice place to go with kids or to have a party, and once a year we have Carols in the Park, where the neighbourhood gathers to watch the Hallett Cove School choir and other groups perform. It has a great atmosphere and kids have heaps of fun on the playground together. (Actual fun, not picking on each other). Depending on your location there are amazing sea views, and a park next to the beach with an excellent family atmosphere. Our area is not an entirely safe one at night, and there were multiple incidents of breaking and entering near to where I live. Also, the older teens think it is funny to go out at night and obstruct roads. (We have been driving home and had to move TVs off the road and traffic cones). This is a rare thing but it does happen. There are also a range of cultures and religions in Hallett Cove. I would recommend it to people who enjoy walking, the conservation park is always a great place to go because it has changes in terrain and beautiful scenery.

do you think the area has enough to do for youth and teens (13-16) ? Or would you suggest another suburb in Adelaide is better?
