Locals of all ages spend their down-time going for leisurely walks through the Park Lands, running around the River Torrens or swimming laps at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre.

Neighbours
North Adelaide has long been regarded as an upper-class neighbourhood where wealthy families live alongside celebrities in lavish manors. However, this stereotype is being increasingly challenged. A new generation of young professionals and students are moving in. While high prices put North Adelaide homes out of reach for many young families, the area continues to be popular with retirees, executive couples and established families.
