Question 1

Is Blakeview a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Blakeview is a predominantly residential suburb with 8,979 residents and a median age of 31, which helps explain its family-oriented character. Housing is mostly modern single- and two-storey brick homes on suburban blocks, and streets are punctuated by neighbourhood parks, playgrounds and sports ovals. Owner-occupation is common, while about 32.0% of households rent.

Everyday needs are covered by the Blakes Crossing town centre on Main Terrace, anchored by a Woolworths and a cluster of shops, and public buses plus nearby arterial roads provide commuter links. Schools and childcare services are within easy reach, and several government-led projects nearby — including the Playford Alive East extension, a planned Curtis Road level crossing removal and an integrated community facility at Mark Oliphant College with new parking and sportsground works under way — are shaping the broader area. That mix tends to suit young families and people after contemporary suburban living with accessible amenities; whether it fits you depends on what you value in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Blakeview?

Accepted Answer

Against a typical local household income of $1,706 a week at the last Census, Blakeview's housing costs look more stretched for buyers than for renters. The median house price of $730,000 is about 8.2 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which sits in the high multiple range. By contrast, a house rent of $560 a week would take roughly 32.8% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, about a third and a sizeable share. If you are renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters for you.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
