Elizabeth is a northern Adelaide suburb created as a post-war satellite town and still shows that practical, working-class character in its streets and housing. The suburb centres on a compact civic and retail precinct, anchored by the Elizabeth shopping area and community facilities such as the Playford Civic Centre and Elizabeth Oval, and it is served by Elizabeth railway station on the Gawler line.
