Looking for a serene spot to put your feet up and enjoy the good life, but aren’t quite ready to leave the city behind? We get it—the office (and your favourite wine bar) still calls.

Enter Riverlea Park, Adelaide’s latest master-planned locale (seriously, the people who came up with this are like the Einsteins of town planning). It’s situated right on the banks of the Gawler River and a speedy 30 minutes or less from the CBD thanks to the Northern Connector.

A convenient commute will keep the city at your fingertips but it’s weekends at home where this this postcode really shines. In Riverlea, your backyard doesn’t end at your back fence—it extends into 450 hectares of open space, 40 hectares of lakes and waterways, and 9.9kms of dedicated bike paths. Maybe you’ll finally ‘get’ hiking, or become one of those people who jogs? Or perhaps just someone who can recognise the call of the white-winged fairy wren when they hear it. It’s all possible.

And with plenty of schools, parks, restaurants, bars, shops, and healthcare services within easy reach too, you might find there’s little need for that 30 minute drive after all.
