Only gazetted as a suburb in 1990, Blakeview has rapidly developed into a thriving residential hotspot, providing all the benefits of city living without the same expense. Situated 29 km north of the Adelaide CBD, this up-and-coming suburb is particularly suited for professionals and young families seeking to lay their roots in a homely and expanding town.
THE NEIGHBOURS
The age distribution of the suburb is skewed towards a slightly younger population, with recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics listing the median age of residents as 29 years. Of the approximate 7,500 residents, children between the ages 0-14 comprise 24.9%, while young people aged 20-29 account for 18.8% of the population. With the area’s ongoing residential development, it is anticipated that young families and professionals chasing larger, yet more affordable homes will continue to flock to the area.
THE COMMUTE
The suburb is largely serviced by Main North Road which provides convenient access to the Adelaide city centre and surrounding suburbs. While journey via car to the CBD takes an approximate 45-mins, travel via Adelaide Metro takes a slightly longer 57-mins. Smithfield and Munno Para Railway Stations are both conveniently located within the area, with access to several different bus routes also available from there.
THE SCHOOL RUN
The suburb is home to a mix of highly regarded public and private primary and secondary schools, with access to education providers in neighbouring suburbs available. A number of childcare and early learning facilities are conveniently situated in the vicinity of Trinity College Blakeview and Blakeview Christian College. Although not situated particularly close to major universities, travel to the Adelaide city centre takes less than an hour and several prominent TAFEs, including TAFE SA, are located within 30-mins.
RETAIL THERAPY
Residents have access to Blakes Crossing Shopping Centre, which provides a small mix of retail, business and civic facilities. The nearby Parks Shopping Cente and Munno Para Shopping City provide a wider selection of popular chain and boutique stores, as well as a number of cafes and fine dining options.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
As a younger town with a strong focus on community, Blakeview offers various leisure pursuits to accommodate an active lifestyle. One such popular attraction is the closeby Shedley Theatre in Elizabeth, which hosts both professional and local amateur performances on a weekly basis. The National Military Vehicle Museum is a similarly well-known visit, providing an inexpensive, up-close-and-personal experience of some of the machinery and vehicles of Australia’s defence force. And for the avid golfers, Penfield Golf Club is only a short 20-min journey away, boasting a stunning 9-hole course and several function rooms ideal for corporate and private events.
