"Best suburb...so central..best of everything"
We have lived here for 6 years with no compaints. Quiet area, so close to the city, hills, not far from beach. Just perfect. Affluent area with great shopping. Near good schools, shopping centres, city.

"Some great streets and many average"
My in laws live up in Marino and are on a large steep block with unobstructed sea views from kitchen and dine. They are happy there but have complained over the years how far they are from the city and driving there from Fullarton with the kids for visits and sleepovers i can say that its a much longer drive than people who live there will admit! In peak hour it is almost an hour from the city. Not bad with train but if you like to drive its a long drive. Nice area but keep in mind its far from everything else and unless in walk distance to beach there is not a lot else to do. Shops at hallett cove are decent and marion not far. Big range of prices but if it is steep land you can get cheaper because it cant be built on. If you like to go down south and spending over 600k consider kingston park and seacliff too. Bit closer to city and more beach vibe is the in seacliff to brighton stretch.

Nothing to do ? Perfect . Spend half day at community veggie garden or paint At Splash Out studios . Do bit of yoga or Pilates at community centre. Try SUP and enjoy beer after at surf club. Play game tennis at new club hq. Take swim or gym session at SA Aquatic. An hour drive to CBD ? When are you travelling sounds like peak hour ...catch the train its fun for kids . Very cool mix of people from around SA/Oz/world ..beautiful sea walks, surf clubs , Seacliff Pub and some spots still affordable compared to Sydney suburb with views. Marino SAs Malibu with views - residents association is very proactive too.
