"Posh and Snob"
To get to North Haven you'll have to drive past the drab suburb of Port Adelaide which is heavy in traffic during working days. You can utilise the area more if you've got a yatch - hey who's got a yatch unless you're a self-made millionaire! The seashore around North Haven is generally littered with seaweeds during summer and one has to walk towards Semaphore beach to have a swim and during the holidays this nearby suburb is crowded and noisy. The Foodlands at nearby Largs Bay had once been broken into.

Hey, if you drive up the seafront as I do, you don't have to see Port Adelaide! I drive to work from North Haven to Henley Beach every day looking at beaches, sea, good quality housing, west lakes, palm trees & parrots - and with very low traffic!! Not bad for the stress levels!! North Haven beach may have seaweed from time to time, but it's still one of the best beaches in the western suburbs, has surf lifesaving cover all summer & a great safety rating.
I wonder if Maximillan has ever been to North Haven. I's not expensive. Largs Bay has never had a Foodland. North Haven is a very friendly suburb.
The price of housing in North Haven is extremely fair. To live so close to the beach or on a marina anywhere else in Australia would cost you a small fortune. It is extremely affordable for the majority. The local shopping centre has just been renovated and is possibly the best on the peninsula. The drive from the city is stress free, with most choosing to drive along the esplanade from Semaphore South making it an absolute pleasure. Neighbours are friendly and talk to each other, kids have so much space to play, and dining out is so easy.
Property in North Haven is still very reasonably priced. Most homes in the suburb do not have a water view and have the space for families. Of course the water view homes are more expensive but not all owners, including myself, are "millionaires", or even "semi-millionnaires". We have just worked and traded up to a water view. Water view townhouses are still available for under $500K. Naturally the bigger houses are a lot more expensive as they are anywhere. As a resident, I have never met any "posh and snobby" people here. I have found them to be quite ordinary, hard working people. Insurance companies will inform you that North Haven is one of the safest postcodes in SA - not a lot of crime here!
