Cungena Avenue is a nice street, but it is not a pretty street. There are not a lot of well established trees on the street and some of the houses are a little old and run down. But the upside is that it is relatively quiet.

It connects to Marion road making access to some great public transport easy and driving into the city or down to marion a breeze. the public transport service is excellent with limited stop bus services, full stop bus services, train and tram services close by.

At the end of the street is a large petrol station making getting the morning paper and milk very easy.

There are a number of shops close by including Foodland, an IGA and a Coles and Marion is not far away at all.

There is little neighbourly interaction which is great for those that like to keep to themselves. However, I witnessed the occasional domestic dispute spill out onto the street.

Cungena Avenue is not used as a through route for traffic and so not a lot of traffic passes through that is not local. However, traffic that does come down tends to travel at higher speeds due to the long straight flat nature of the street.

It was a good place to live as a single looking for easy access to the city.

Park Holme is a nice suburb on the Adelaide Plains but it is not quite as good as some of the surrounding suburbs.

There is a good mix of housing on very large blocks, but the older houses are not as well maintained on a number of streets. The new houses are nice and have wonderfully deep blocks as they are often places on split blocks.

Public transport to the city is fantastic with a number of buses running along Marion Road. Some of these services are limited stop servies making the trips extremely fast. The services run regularly and on time. The Train and the Tram are also not far away. The train is within walking distance but the tram may require a connecting bus.

Getting to the city by car is easy as you like, straight up Marion road onto Anzac highway.

There are a number of good quality shops close by and Marion is very close. This makes shopping easy without having to go too far.

It is not far from some great beaches and it is a short trip to the airport and Glenelg. On the whole it would make a great investment.

I considered buying a house on Lord Howe, but the house itself was too small for us at the time. We bought a block just around the corner. Lord Howe is a nice street, with a good blend of houses.

It has good access to public transport to the city and Northgate shops are well within walking distance. At one end of Lord Howe it is close to the new Lightsview area, and just around the corner from Regent Gardens reserve.

Other shops close by include Windsor Gardens which includes a good sized Hardware store, Ingle farm, Golden grove, Tea Tree Plaza and Greenacres. If you need anything, good chance its within walking distance or a very short drive.

Regent Gardens reserve is the ultimate local park. Wide open spaces for you kids or dog, two playgrounds, two full size tennis courts, a full size basketball court, a good sized rotunda and an undercover entertaining area with public toilets. The park is full of people on the weekends taking advantage of one of the best resources Oakden has to offer.

At the other end of Lord Howe there is another park or open area, and the Oakden wetlands are within walking distance.

Lord Howe is a relatively quiet street but it does take a bit more traffic than most streets on Oakden as is is a through road. had the house been bigger I think we would have bought on this street. Find the right house and its a great place to live.

Veart Court is a great little cul-de-sac in the heart of Woodcroft. With a nature stip in the middle of the street acting as a 'roundabout' of sorts and some good greenery around, it is quite peaceful. It is a quiet and welcoming street.

With no through traffic and not a lot of local traffic moving in and out it is a safe and secure street for kids to play in. However, being a new development with narrow roads there is little street parking available in some parts.

Veart Court is within walking distance of the local school and local Woolworths. It is a nice walk along well established streets with lanscaped gardens.

Not too far away is a larger shopping complex with food shopping, a range of specialty shops, bottle shops, Woodcroft Tavern and banks.

There are a number of buses that service the area enabling easy access to Marion, the city and Noarlunga Centre. If you're driving the Southern expressway entrances are not far away which means heading north or south is a breeze.

i have family living in Veart Court and would recommend it as a nice place to live.

Woodcoft is a nice suburb. A lot of people moved from the surrounding suburbs when the area opened up to gte access to a new house on a smaller block. The area is really starting to devlop now and becoming more established.

The blocks are relatively small, like in most new developments but they are still big enough to have a pool if you want one, and have room enough for the kids to play in. The houses tend to be courtyard sized homes with three bedrooms. Plenty big enough for families.

It is well located close to shops and bus routes. Woodcroft also has a number of quite new schools close by that are of a good standard. It is also close to the Southern Expresway making travel north or south an absolute breeze.

Some of Adelaide's best beaches aren't far away, nor is Marion, and Noarlunga Centre and there is a newer Woolworths close by. Still within walking distance is the Woodcroft Tavern and a good range of shops, banks and take away venues including a wok-in-a-box.

There are new playground facilities and parks in the area that are also good for young families.

the down side is the soil qaulity is poor, so if you're a home gardener you'll need to put a lot in to improve it.

Reynella is a well established area with well established trees. I have had a lot of friends live in the area and it is always a good place to visit.

Reynella has a number of supermarkets and smaller shopping centres close by including Foodland, and the shops at Old Reynella. The are a number of schools close by including Reynella East Schools.

Reynella is well serviced by a number of bus routes and includes a major interchange close by at Old Reynella. These buses can take you into the city, to Marion or down to Noarlunga Centre. It's a 50 minute ride into the city on the bus.

There are great links to cycling tracks in Reynella for the cyclist and its not uncommon to see people ride to the beach, which is not far away.

There are some great little places to eat around Reynella and Old Reynella which are worth a visit. It makes going out easier if you don't need to go far to get a great meal.

Reynella is a great place to live and raise a family. But, there is a bit for everyone. Couples and retirees would also find Reynella a great place to live.

Drummond Avenue is no through road and so doesn't take any through tarffic. It also ends at a large reserve which is great for walking somewhere different and even better for children who simply love to play in the trees and wide open spaces. I was one of them.

Drummon Avenue is close to Reynella east Schools and has a number of bus routes close by that will take you to the city, Marion or down towards Noarlunga Centre.

It is a well established street with some lovely large gums and other trees making it very appealing to the eye. It is also a quiet street. However, there is a great neighbourly feel about the place. The neighbours get along well and often stop to have a chat.

Drummon Avenue is close to the local Foodland and the shops at Old Reynella are not too far away. Just around the corner is a nice park with a fountain that the kids can catch yabbies in.

A friend of mine grew up on Alta Avenue and I have visited many times. It is a lovely short street of well established houses and trees close to a park and reserve. It is a quiet street that serves very little traffic.

The park has some good play equipment for younger children and the reserve is home to the local wildlife such as Koalas, Rosellas and Kookaburras.

Alta Avenue is not far from bus route that service the area taking you to Marion, the city or Colenades. It is also not far from some of the best beaches Adelaide has to offer.

With such close proximity to a park and Reynella east Primary and High school within walking distance, this is a great place for families with kids. However, retirees would also enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, proximity to reserves and the opportunity to feed the local ducks.

Tatiara is a quiet and very livable street. Well established houses and trees and lovely people, you couldn't ask for much more. It has a good blend of young couples, families and older families.

There are a number of parks close by with plenty of space to kick a ball, play some cricket or fly a kite. Not far away is a great nature reserve which is wonderful to feel like you are out of the city.

Reynella East Primary and High School is close by and I attended both schools.They are good qaulity public schools.

Tatiara, doesn't have public transport running along it, but is close to two major bus routes that service the local areas. These routes include buses that run to the city, Marion and Colenades so access to shops is easy.

There are shops within walking distance and more within a short drive. It isn't far to Colenades and Marion.

I have friends that live on Tatiara and they are very happy with the location, the neighbours and the local facilities.

Ash Court is a quiet and very livable street. Well established houses and trees in a quiet little cul-de-sac you couldn't ask for much more.

One Side of Ash Court backs onto a reserve with plenty of space to kick a ball, play some cricket or fly a kite. There is a creek running through the reserve that flows gently in the winter and is dry in summer. The creek is a great place for kids to play.

Just beyond the reserve is Reynella East Primary and High School. I attended both schools and they are good qaulity public schools.

Ash court, doesn't have public transport running along it, but is close to two major bus routes that service the local areas. These routes include buses that run to the city, Marion and Colenades so access to shops is easy.

There are shops within walking distance and more within a short drive. It isn't far to Colenades and Marion.

Ash Court itself is a short road with few cars, no through traffic and good neighbours. It is the perfect street for children that can't be confined to a backyard, the street is safe to play on and there is the reserve a short one minute walk away.

Murray Bridge is a good sized city with great facilities. I have visited Murray Bridge regularly over a number of years to water ski on the River Murray.

It is easy to get to, just an hour out of Adelaide straight up the freeway and the people are friendly and helpful.

The water skiing here is excellent and access to the river is easy. There are a number of places you can drop your boat in and a lot of places up and down the river that enable you to ski on your own on glass like water.

There are enough shops and food outlets for you to buy everything you need without ever having to leave Murray Bridge.

A great spot for anyone wanting to take a step away from bigger cities and not give up on facilities.

Ernest Crescent is a nice street in a nice area. Well covered with older trees and runs by reserves and creeks it is a great place for a kid to grow up.

There are good bus services travelling towards all the major attractions near by, although the trip into the city can be a long one of 50 minutes or more. Ernest crescent also provides easy access by car to a number of major routes and is not far from local shops.

There are a number of supermarkets nearby, including Coles/BiLo, Foodland and Woolworths. However, only Foodland is within walking distance. At the Foodland complex there is also a good collection of shops including drycleaners, delis, video hire and a McDonalds.

For nature lovers it is not uncommon to see a Koala or hear a Kookaburra in your backyard. Rosella,s those beautiful birds are often seen as well.

The neighbours are friendly but not in your face. You more likely to see them and chat to them going for a walk in the local reservces than you are to stick your head over the back fence.

The downside for Ernest Crescent is that it is a reasonably busy street and traffic can travel at speeds that can make you uncomfortable if you haev young children. But this shouldn't matter as the houses and blocks are large enough for kids to play in the back yard. There is no need to resort to the street to play.

I grew up on Ernest Crescent and loved every minute of it. Friends were close by, school was within walking distance and there were parks and playgrounds withing walking distance. Not to mention the creeks which provdied hours of fun during the winter. I can now see my nieces and nephews who live close by still enjoying those same benefits.

It is a good street to live, nice and green and well located.

Nestled in the southern Mt Lofty ranges on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Happy valley is a big suburb covering a lot of area, all beautiful country. It is well established, and yet there are new developments coming up all the time in the area.

The houses in Happy Valley are largely three or more bedroom homes, on large blocks, many with pools. Many of the houses are on sloping blocks and will have split levels.

For the nature lovers, Kookaburras are often heard marking their territory with their laughs and guffaws, Koalas are not an uncommon site and possums make a home in the bountiful trees, not your roof.

There is a good mix of older couples, older families and young families in the area and asa result there is a good blend of services. There are a number of good schools around Happy Valley often within pleasant walking distances.

While not as up to date as some newer areas of Adelaide, there are some wonderful parks and walking trails through Happy Valley that are perfect for dog walkers and joggers alike. the play equipment for younger children is good quality, if a a little dated in some parks. But the same could be said of many areas. Compared to some areas on the plains of Adelaide, this is a family's paradise.

It is walking that you are most likely to mix with your neighbours. It is not often that you will spend time out in the front yard talking to your neighbours but you may bump into them at the local park and have a catch up. It is a friendly, but not nosy neighbourhood.

Transport to and from the city is good but not great. There are good bus servcies that will take you into the city in around 50 minutes. The drive into the city will be of a similar but slightly shoter length. However, Marion is close by and so is Colenades.

It is a short trip down to some of the best beaches Adelaide has to offer, with the benfit of the beaches not being over run. For the surfer, the mid coast is just a short trip as well.

I grew up in Happy Valley, riding my bike or walking to school. My parents still live there as does my older brother and his family and I still have friends that live in the area. It is a wonderful suburb and one that I would put on the list to live in again.

Oakden is a woderful suburb. It combines affordable courtyard homes with more expensive larger homes. There are a number of well built townhouses in nice locations as well.

Oakden has a number of parks and playgrounds within its boundaries and so is perfect for families. Regent Gardens in the heart of Oakden has large open spaces to let the older kids run around, fly a kite, kick the football or play a game of cricket. While the younger kids can take advantage of the two playgrounds within regent gardens. On top of this, there are two tennis courts available for free use, a full size and well maintained basketball court, an undercover entertaining area, free electric BBQ's, well maintained public toilets, and a rotunda. Regent Gardens are the perfect place for a celebration for groups of all size and is often full of fun and laughter on the weekend with numerous groups all year round

The other park in Oakden is set up as a wetlands area. It is home to a number of different bird species and is a great place for a gentle stroll. The wetlands collecting the storm water from the Oakden area to create this tranquil and beautiful area. There is a playgound within the area, but for families with young children the main reason to visit is to see your children enjoy the local wildlife. Feeding the ducks is a real highlight. On the borders of this wonderful park is the Lakeside Cafe, a great place for a coffee or meal. You can also get duck food here.

The block sizes in Oakden tend to be small and as a result so do the dogs. Oakden is small dog lovers paradise. Although, if you have time a big dog has plenty of room to move in the parks.

Oakden is well serviced by public transport although there are areas that have better transport. It is a short 30 minute bus ride into the city and a 20 minute drive. For the cyclists, depending on how fast you can ride, you could be in the city in 20 minutes along well maintained bike lanes.

The downside, and there is only one, is Sir Ross Smith Boulevad is a through road for a number of people and as a result carries a lot of trafffic. This is one street to watch out for for people with cats and young children. traffic is slowed by the roundabouts and corners on the street but it is still a busy road.

Compared to other places around Adelaide that I have lived, this is a young family's utopia.

Trinity Way in Oakden is one of the newer streets in Oakden. Many of the houses have been built in the last ten years and have been very well maintained. While it is one of the newer streets, the houses and land sizes are slightly larger than the rest of Oakden.

It forms part of a loop street that runs off Sir Ross Smith Boulevad and so has no through traffic. The traffic is limited to local traffic. As most of the people on the street have young children the road users show a much greater care in drving than experienced on many other streets.

Trinity way is not far from different bus routes that connect to the obahn or run directly into the city. However, for some the walk to the bus stop for the fastest bus route may be considered too far. However, the additional walk means a shorter bus ride. You could be in the city in 30 minutes.

Trinity way is only 12km from the GPO and as a result the trip into the city is quite fast. The trip into the city by car will take 20-25 minutes during peak hour traffic and even less when there is little traffic.

Trinity Way is close to a number of parks and playgrounds that are of good quality. A five minute walk (15 with a toddler) is Regent gardens where there are two playground, two full size free access tennis courts, a full size basketball court, an undercover entertaining area (the Dairy) and bike and walking trails.

Trinity Way is also close to the Northgate shopping centre which is within walking distance, and Greenacres shopping centre which involves a short drive. Within a short drive there are a number of other shops including, Tea Tree Plaza, Golden Grove, Ingle Farm, the city, and Newton.

Cyclists will also like Trinity Way as it is an easy ride into the city and provides easy access to a number of bike tracks around Oakden and the surrounding areas.

Part of Trinity Way backs up against Trinity College. However, there is little to no noise from the school and no litter. So even during school periods the street is quiet and peaceful.

With so many young families, this is a great street with a real community feel.
