Question 1

Is Camden Park a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Camden Park is an established inner-south Adelaide suburb with a quietly residential character. Tree-lined streets and predominantly single-storey post-war brick homes with modest gardens sit alongside pockets of more recent infill. It suits people who want a peaceful neighbourhood with everyday conveniences close at hand, including small local shops, parks and straightforward road and public transport links to larger retail and leisure precincts.

The community of 3,338 has a median age of 36 and is weighted towards families — couple families with and without children together make up 84.8% of households. Homes are more often owner-occupied (59.3%) than rented (40.8%), and local civic amenities include the Camden Community Hall, the Camden Park Child Care Centre and the Camden Park Metropolitan Fire Station. There is also a major public housing renewal on Anzac Highway and ongoing Anzac Highway and junction works in the area. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Camden Park?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Camden Park works out to about 13.5 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which sits well above local incomes. Renting is also a large share of income: a house rent of $670 a week would take roughly 48% of a typical local household's weekly income of $1,398 as recorded at the most recent Census, while a unit at $500 a week would take about 36%. On the figures, both buying and renting look stretched against the local household income recorded at the last Census, with house rents taking the larger share.

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