Springfield Suburb Profile

Springfield offers the ultimate in luxurious living. Set against a backdrop of iconic Australian bushland, the neighbourhood is filled with opulent homes and sprawling gardens, creating an aura of grandeur and exclusivity. Living in Springfield means being merely 15 minutes from the city centre, providing locals with a country-living feel with all the conveniences of city living. The tree-lined streets, decorative lighting, and historic stone bridges make for a distinctly European ambience, while the surrounding conservation parks and walking trails offer peace and tranquillity. 

Living in Springfield attracts old and new money. Postcode-proud locals usually stay put, enjoying the area’s close proximity to the hills and the city. While there are no retail amenities or entertainment on offer, prestigious schools and upmarket shopping can be found in neighbouring suburbs and the popular restaurant and café strips of Unley and King William Roads are just a short drive away. 
The historic Carrick Hill manor is located in Springfield, providing locals and visitors with a picturesque labyrinth of rose gardens and architecture to explore. On the weekends, locals make the most of living in the foothills, picnicking in the nearby quarry, going for hikes in Belair National Park or strolling through the nearby Waite Arboretum. A short drive to the freeway allows for a quick getaway to the Adelaide Hills or to the coastal towns down south, while some of Adelaide’s best beaches are a leisurely car trip to the west.
