Stepney Suburb Profile

With strong industrial roots and an interesting mix of heritage architecture, living in Stepney offers a village-like atmosphere with direct access to the CBD. There’s a balance of residential homes and light industry – locals literally have everything at their fingertips. 

This leafy area is surrounded by a number of prestigious schools, and direct access to North Terrace makes for an easy commute to the city. Residents of Stepney tend to shop locally at the Avenues Shopping Centre, but come the weekend, they head to Magill Road for the antique and homewares shops. Stepney is also close to the foodie and retail outlets on Norwood Parade and O’Connell Street – there’s plenty of choice for shopping and dining. While many of Stepney’s streets are purely residential, there are also commercial businesses in the area, offering convenient access to retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and health and professional services. 

For a small neighbourhood, living in Stepney means enjoying a large area of green space – Linde Reserve. This well-loved spot includes a playground, open grass area, and a natural creek, with Adelaide Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Park Lands, and the Linear Trail close at hand.
